Solve for n. −2(4+n)=24

Answer 1

To solve for n, we can start by distributing -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-2 * 4 - 2 * n = 24
-8 - 2n = 24
Next, let's isolate the term with n by subtracting -8 from both sides:
-2n = 24 + 8
-2n = 32
Finally, we can solve for n by dividing both sides by -2:
n = 32 / -2
n = -16

Therefore, the solution for n is -16.

Answer 2

Solve for x

5/8 (x + 1/2) = 100

Answer 3

To solve for x, we can start by distributing 5/8 to the terms inside the parentheses:

(5/8) * x + (5/8) * (1/2) = 100

Next, let's simplify the equation:

(5/8) * x + (5/16) = 100

Now, let's isolate the term with x by subtracting (5/16) from both sides:

(5/8) * x = 100 - (5/16)

Simplifying the right side:

(5/8) * x = 1600/16 - 5/16

(5/8) * x = 1595/16

Finally, we can solve for x by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of (5/8), which is 8/5:

x = (1595/16) * (8/5)

x = 25360/80

x = 317

Therefore, the solution for x is 317.

Answer 4

wrong

Answer 5

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.

To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the left side of the equation:

(5/8)(x + 1/2) = 100

Multiplying both terms within the parentheses by 5/8:

5/8 * x + 5/8 * 1/2 = 100

Simplifying:

5/8 * x + 5/16 = 100

Next, let's isolate the term with x by subtracting 5/16 from both sides:

5/8 * x = 100 - 5/16

To make the right side of the equation have a common denominator, we multiply 100 by 16/16:

5/8 * x = (1600/16) - (5/16)

Simplifying:

5/8 * x = 1595/16

To solve for x, we need to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/8, which is 8/5:

x = (1595/16)(8/5)

Multiplying:

x = (1595 * 8) / (16 * 5)

x = 12760 / 80

Simplifying:

x = 159.5

Therefore, the solution for x is 159.5.

Answer 6

What is 159.5 as fraction?

Answer 7

To express 159.5 as a fraction, we can write it as 159 1/2 or 159 5/10.

To simplify it, we can reduce the fraction:

159 5/10 = 159 1/2 = (159 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 319/2

So, 159.5 as a fraction is 319/2.
