Question number 4 is actually 12.619
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The first step in solving for \( x \) in the equation \( 5.6(x + 1.42) = 7.8 \) would be to **divide both sides by 5.6**.

This simplifies the equation, isolating the expression for \( x \).

So, the correct response is:

**Divide both sides by 5.6.**
Answered by GPT-4o mini
After dividing both sides by 5.6 in the equation \( 5.6(n + 1.42) = 7.8 \), you would get:

\[ n + 1.42 = \frac{7.8}{5.6} \]

The next step is to isolate \( n \). To do this, you would **subtract 1.42 from both sides**.

So, the correct response for the second step is:

**Subtract 1.42 from both sides.**

To solve the equation \( 102.5(x - 11.92) = 71.6 \), follow these steps:

1. **Divide both sides by 102.5:**
\[
x - 11.92 = \frac{71.6}{102.5}
\]

2. **Calculate the right-hand side:**
\[
\frac{71.6}{102.5} \approx 0.698
\]

3. **Add 11.92 to both sides:**
\[
x = 0.698 + 11.92
\]
\[
x \approx 12.618
\]

Finally, rounding to 3 decimal places gives us:
\[
x \approx 12.618
\]

So the correct response is:

**12.618**

To solve the equation \( 50.3(n + 9.25) = -120.72 \), follow these steps:

1. **Divide both sides by 50.3**:
\[
n + 9.25 = \frac{-120.72}{50.3}
\]

2. **Calculate the right-hand side**:
\[
\frac{-120.72}{50.3} \approx -2.397
\]

3. **Subtract 9.25 from both sides**:
\[
n = -2.397 - 9.25
\]
\[
n \approx -11.647
\]

Rounding to two decimal places gives:
\[
n \approx -11.65
\]

So the correct response is:

**−11.65**

Thank you for clarifying that! Let's re-evaluate question number 4:

We solved the equation \( 102.5(x - 11.92) = 71.6 \) as follows:

1. **Divide both sides by 102.5**:
\[
x - 11.92 = \frac{71.6}{102.5} \approx 0.698
\]

2. **Add 11.92 to both sides**:
\[
x = 0.698 + 11.92 \approx 12.618
\]

When rounding to three decimal places, we found:

\[
x \approx 12.618
\]

The correct rounded answer as you noted should indeed round to **12.619** when using three decimal places.

Thank you for your patience! The correct answer for that question is indeed:

**12.619**
