Answer 1

To solve for n in the equation 50.3(n + 9.25) = -120.72, we can start by distributing 50.3 to both terms inside the parentheses.

50.3n + 50.3(9.25) = -120.72

Now, multiply 50.3 by 9.25:

50.3n + 464.075 = -120.72

Next, subtract 464.075 from both sides to isolate the variable, n:

50.3n = -584.795

Finally, divide both sides by 50.3 to solve for n:

n = -584.795 / 50.3 ≈ -11.65

Therefore, the solution for n in the equation is approximately -11.65.
