Answer:

Multiply both sides of the equation by n/-2.25

Explanation:


(n)/(-225)=15.6


\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}-2.25


(n\left(-2.25\right))/(-2.25)=15.6\left(-2.25\right)


\mathrm{Simplify}


n=-35.1

Answer:

  • The answer is A. (multiply both sides of the equation by n/-2.25).
  • The final answer is n=-35.1.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate the term of n from one side of the equation.


\sf{(n)/(-2.25)=15.6 }

The only way to solve this is to multiply both sides by -2.25.


\sf{(n(-2.25))/(-2.25)=15.6(-2.25) }

After that, you solve.

Multiply the numbers from left to right.


\sf{15.6(-2.25)=\boxed{\sf{-35.1}}

  • n=-35.1

Don't forget to use a variable for your final answer.

  • Therefore, the correct answer is n=-35.1 and A. multiply both sides of the equation by n/-2.25.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
