Write as an equation: if a number is decreased by five, and then the result is multiplied by two, the result is
26.
a. 2n – 5 = 26
b. n - 5 = 26 x 2
c. 2(n – 5) = 26
d. 2(n - 5) = 26/2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If n-2 comes first, it would be in parentheses so that 2 would be distributed.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

22
