1 answer

To solve the equation \( 50.3 ( n + 9.25 ) = -120.72 \), we start by isolating \( n \).

  1. First, divide both sides by 50.3:

\[ n + 9.25 = \frac{-120.72}{50.3} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ \frac{-120.72}{50.3} \approx -2.396 \]

So, we have:

\[ n + 9.25 \approx -2.396 \]

  1. Next, subtract 9.25 from both sides to solve for \( n \):

\[ n \approx -2.396 - 9.25 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ -2.396 - 9.25 = -11.646 \]

Thus, we find:

\[ n \approx -11.65 \]

So the solution for \( n \) is:

\[ \boxed{-11.65} \]
