we have

$1.4n + 2 = 2n + 3.2$

we know that

If $n=-2$ is a solution of the equation

then

the value of n must satisfied the equation

<u>Substitute the value of n in the equation</u>

$1.4*(-2) + 2 = 2*(-2) + 3.2$

$-2.8 + 2 = -4 + 3.2$

$-0.8 = -0.8$ ----> the equation is true

The value of n is a solution of the equation

therefore

<u>the answer is the option B</u>

$-0.8 = -0.8$

1.4(-2)+2=2(-2)+3.2
-0.8=-0.8

If a laptop originally costs $800, the balance due after the 10% discount and $150 gift card is applied is

KatRina [158]

So the original price is $800. And there is a 10% discount, so:

10% = 80
90% = $720

And there is also a $150 gift card applied, leaving us with a final balance of $570 (720-150)

<span>Leonard made some muffins. He gave 5/8 of them to his grandmother and 10 muffins to his aunt. He had 11 muffins left. How many muffins did he have at first?

If you take 10 and 11 and add, then you'll have 3/8 of the muffins, so 21/3 is 7 and 7*8 is 56, so you'll have 56 muffins to start. and Leonard gave 35 to his grandmother.</span>

Which number line represents the solution set for the inequality –negative StartFraction one-half EndFraction x is greater than

lozanna [386]

Answer:

<h2>Second choice.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequality is

$-\frac{1}{2}x \geq 4$

Let's solve for $x$

$x\leq -4(2)\\x\leq -8$

Basically, the solution of the given inquality is set with all real numbers which are equal or less than -8. So, the solution must indicate a blue line starting at -8 pointing to its left.

Therefore, the second choice represents the solution to the given inequality.

Line segment JL is an altitude in triangle JKM. Which statement explains whether JKM is a right triangle? Round measures to the

natulia [17]

Answer:

C. JKM is not a right triangle because KM ≠ 15.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from our diagram that triangle JKM is divided into right triangles JLM and JLK.

In order to triangle JKM be a right triangle $KM^{2}=JK^{2}+JM^{2}$ .

We will find length of side KM using our right triangles JLM and JLK as $KM=KL+LM$ .

Using Pythagorean theorem in triangle JLM we will get,

$LM=\sqrt{JM^{2}-JL^{2}}$

$LM=\sqrt{8^{2}-5^{2}}$

$LM=\sqrt{64-25}$

$LM=\sqrt{39}=6.244997998\approx 6.24$

Now let us find length of side KL.

$KL=\sqrt{JK^{2}-JL^{2}}$

$KL=\sqrt{13^{2}-5^{2}}$

$KL=\sqrt{169-25}$

$KL=\sqrt{144}=12$

Now let us find length of KM by adding lengths of KL and LM.

$KM=12+6.24=18.24$

Now let us find whether JKM is right triangle or not using Pythagorean theorem.

$KM^{2}=JK^{2}+JM^{2}$

$18.24^{2}=13^{2}+8^{2}$

$18.24^{2}=169+64$

$18.24^{2}=233$

Upon taking square root of both sides of equation we will get,

$18.24\neq 15.264337522473748$

$18.2\neq 15.3$

We have seen that KM equals 18.2 and in order to JKM be a right triangle KM must be equal to 15.3, therefore, JKM is not a right triangle and option C is the correct choice.
