3 answers

To solve for n in the equation 50.3(n + 9.25) = 120.72, we can start by simplifying the equation:

50.3(n + 9.25) = 120.72

Distribute 50.3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

50.3 * n + 50.3 * 9.25 = 120.72

50.3n + 462.775 = 120.72

Next, subtract 462.775 from both sides of the equation:

50.3n = 120.72 - 462.775

50.3n = -342.055

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

n = -342.055 / 50.3

n ≈ -6.804
Solve for n in the equation 50.3(n + 9.25) = -120.72.
The responses are:
A. 6.85
B. -2.4
C. -6.85
D. -11.65
To solve for n in the equation 50.3(n + 9.25) = -120.72, we can follow similar steps as before:

50.3(n + 9.25) = -120.72

Distribute 50.3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

50.3 * n + 50.3 * 9.25 = -120.72

50.3n + 462.775 = -120.72

Next, subtract 462.775 from both sides of the equation:

50.3n = -120.72 - 462.775

50.3n = -583.495

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

n = -583.495 / 50.3

n ≈ -11.614

Therefore, the correct response is D. -11.65 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
