Solve for n in the equation 50.3(n+9.25)=−120.72 .(1 point)

1 answer

Let's solve for n by simplifying the equation step by step:

50.3(n + 9.25) = -120.72

Let's distribute 50.3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

50.3 * n + 50.3 * 9.25 = -120.72

Now, let's simplify:

50.3n + 464.275 = -120.72

Next, let's isolate the variable by subtracting 464.275 from both sides of the equation:

50.3n = -120.72 - 464.275

50.3n = -584.995

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

n = -584.995 / 50.3

n ≈ -11.63

Therefore, n ≈ -11.63.
