Question

Can you please help me with this problem? I keep getting 13.6 but that is not one of the choices.
10 - 3.2n
By the way n=2
The answer choices are:
A. 6.8
B. 3.6
C. 13.2
D. 16.4

Answer 1

This is a subtraction problem.

Answer 2

Yeah, I know it is, but can you help me with the answer, please? What I did was I took 10 - 3.2 which equals 6.8 and then I multiplied 6.8 x 2 because n equals 2. 6.8 x 2 = 13.6. So I must be doing it wrong but I don't know-how.

Answer 3

You must multiply 3.2 by 2 first, then subtract that from 10. So 10-6.4=3.6.

Answer 4

Oh ok, that makes sense. Thank you so much!
