Solve for n in the equation 50.3 (n+9.25)=-120.72

Answer 1

To solve for n, let's first distribute the 50.3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

50.3n + 50.3(9.25) = -120.72

50.3n + 463.275 = -120.72

Now, subtract 463.275 from both sides of the equation:

50.3n = -120.72 - 463.275

50.3n = -583.995

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

n = -583.995 / 50.3

n ≈ -11.603
