Divide both sides by 5.6.

Only the left-hand side was divided by 5.6.
Only the left-hand side was divided by 5.6.

Multiply both sides by 5.6.
Multiply both sides by 5.6.

Answer 1

The correct answer is to subtract 1.42 from both sides.

5.6(x + 1.42) = 7.8

Start by distributing 5.6 to the terms inside the parentheses:

5.6x + 7.952 = 7.8

Next, subtract 7.952 from both sides of the equation:

5.6x = 7.8 - 7.952

5.6x = -0.152

Now you can proceed with further steps to solve for x.

Answer 3

The correct answer is to divide both sides by 5.6.

5.6(n + 1.42) = 7.8

Start by distributing 5.6 to the terms inside the parentheses:

5.6n + 7.952 = 7.8

Next, subtract 7.952 from both sides of the equation:

5.6n = 7.8 - 7.952

5.6n = -0.152

Lastly, divide both sides by 5.6 to solve for n:

n = -0.152 / 5.6

Answer 7

To solve for x in the equation 102.5(x - 11.92) = 71.6, we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute 102.5 to the terms inside the parentheses:

102.5x - 1229.9 = 71.6

2. Add 1229.9 to both sides to isolate the variable:

102.5x = 1301.5

3. Divide both sides by 102.5 to solve for x:

x = 1301.5 / 102.5

Calculating this division, we get x ≈ 12.687.

Rounded to 3 decimal places, the solution for x is 12.687. Therefore, the correct answer is 12.619.

Answer 9

To solve for n in the equation 50.3(n + 9.25) = -120.72, we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute 50.3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

50.3n + 467.075 = -120.72

2. Subtract 467.075 from both sides to isolate the variable:

50.3n = -120.72 - 467.075

50.3n = -587.795

3. Divide both sides by 50.3 to solve for n:

n = -587.795 / 50.3

Calculating this division, we get n ≈ -11.676.

Rounded to 2 decimal places, the solution for n is -11.65. Therefore, the correct answer is -11.65.
