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.
