To solve for n in the equation 50.3(n+9.25) = -120.72, we first begin by distributing 50.3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

50.3n + 50.3(9.25) = -120.72

Next, we simplify the equation:

50.3n + 464.275 = -120.72

We then isolate the variable n by subtracting 464.275 from both sides:

50.3n = -120.72 - 464.275

This simplifies to:

50.3n = -584.995

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 50.3 to solve for n:

n = -584.995 / 50.3

n ≈ -11.65

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