To find the solution to the equation 9.2 = 2n - 1, let's create a table by trying different integer values for n:
| n | 2n - 1 |
|:---:|:-------:|
| -4 | -9 |
| -3 | -7 |
| -2 | -5 |
| -1 | -3 |
| 0 | -1 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 5 |
| 4 | 7 |
| 5 | 9 |
| 6 | 11 |
From the table, we can see that the value of 2n - 1 equals 9.2 for n = 5.5. Since the solution is not an integer, we can conclude that the solution lies between the consecutive integers 5 and 6.
Use a table to find the solution of the equation. If the solution lies between two consecutive integers, identify those integers. 9.2 = 2n - 1 If the solution is an integer, type this integer. Otherwise, type the two consecutive integers between which the solution lies. (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
