Answer 1

To solve for n in the equation 50.3(n+9.25) = -120.72, we first need to distribute the 50.3 to both terms inside the parenthesis:

50.3n + 50.3(9.25) = -120.72

Next, we can simplify the expression by multiplying:

50.3n + 464.075 = -120.72

Now, let's isolate the variable by subtracting 464.075 from both sides:

50.3n = -584.795

Finally, we can solve for n by dividing both sides by 50.3:

n = -584.795 / 50.3 ≈ -11.65

Therefore, the value of n is approximately -11.65.
