solve for n the equation

Question

50.3 (N+9.25) = -120.72
A. -2.4
B. -11.65
C. 6.85
D. -6.85
Pick the closest answer

Answer 1

To solve for n, we can begin by simplifying the equation:

50.3(N + 9.25) = -120.72

Next, we can distribute 50.3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

50.3N + 470.075 = -120.72

To isolate the variable term, we subtract 470.075 from both sides:

50.3N = -590.795

Finally, we can solve for N by dividing both sides by 50.3:

N = -590.795 / 50.3

By performing the division, we get:

N ≈ -11.7

Therefore, the closest answer is B. -11.65.
