To solve for n in the equation 50.3(n+9.25)=-120.72, follow these steps:
1. Distribute 50.3 to each term inside the parentheses:
50.3n + 50.3(9.25) = -120.72
2. Simplify:
50.3n + 462.275 = -120.72
3. Subtract 462.275 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with n:
50.3n + 462.275 - 462.275 = -120.72 - 462.275
50.3n = -582.995
4. Divide both sides of the equation by 50.3 to solve for n:
n = -582.995/50.3
Calculating the value of n:
n ≈ -11.59
Rounded to two decimal places, the value of n is approximately -11.59.
Therefore, none of the answer choices -6.85, 6.85, -11.65, or -2.4 are correct.
