Answer 1

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

First, distribute 50.3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

50.3 * n + 50.3 * 9.25 = -120.72

Next, simplify the equation further by performing the multiplication:

50.3n + 462.275 = -120.72

Now, isolate the variable term by subtracting 462.275 from both sides of the equation:

50.3n = -120.72 - 462.275

50.3n = -583.995

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

n = -583.995 / 50.3 ≈ -11.61

Therefore, the solution to the equation is n ≈ -11.61.

The closest option given to this solution is -11.65.
