Answer 1

To solve for n in the equation 50.3(n+9.25) = -120.72, we can start by distributing the 50.3:

50.3n + 50.3(9.25) = -120.72

Next, let's multiply:

50.3n + 463.175 = -120.72

Now we can isolate the term with n:

50.3n = -120.72 - 463.175

50.3n = -583.895

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

n = -583.895 / 50.3

n ≈ -11.62

The closest option is -11.65, so the correct answer is:

-11.65
