Answer 1

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

1. Divide both sides by 50.3: \[ n + 9.25 = \frac{-120.72}{50.3} \] Calculate the right side: \[ n + 9.25 \approx -2.4 \]

2. Now, we'll subtract 9.25 from both sides to solve for \( n \): \[ n = -2.4 - 9.25 \] \[ n = -11.65 \]

Thus, the solution is \(-11.65\).

From the options provided, the correct answer is negative 11.65.
