Question

Solve for a.

−10 = 1/5 a


Solve for n.
3(n – 8) = -12



Solve for x.

Answer 1

thanks Thankyou for points ty ty

Answer 2

Explanation:

for the first one multiply the equation by 5

5(-10)=5(1/5)a

-50=a

2. 3(n-8)=-12

divide the equation by 3

(3(n-8))/3=-12/3

(n-8)=-4

add 8 to both sides

n-8+8=-4+8

n=4

3. 8+4x=-16

subtract the whole equation by 8

-8+4x=-16-8

4x=-24

divide the equation by 4

4x/4=-24/4

x=-6

4. 4 chicken sandwiches at $2.50 each, to find the value of all the values for all 4 sandwiches is 4(2.50)=10

and since there is only one hamburger you just need to find the value for the one burger which is x.

4(2.50)+1(x)=14.30

10+x=14.30

subtract the equation by 10

10-10+x=14.30-10

x=4.30

Hope this helps :)
