What is the value of n in the equation –(2n + 4) + 6 = –9 + 4(2n + 1)?

5/2

Start by eliminating parentheses.

... 2n +4 +6 = -9 +8n +4

... 10 = -5 +6n . . . . subtract 2n

... 15 = 6n . . . . . . . add 5

... 15/6 = n = 5/2

Check

(2·5/2 +4) +6 = -9 +4(2·5/2 +1)

5 +4 +6 = -9 +4(5 +1)

15 = -9 +24 . . . . . true, so the answer checks OK

location: point 0

step-by-step explanation:

well, -8 to 10 on a number line is 18 spaces.

1/9 of 18 is 2.

so, 4/9 of 18 must be 8.

8 spaces from -8 (a) is 0.

so, 4/9 of the way from -8 to 10 is 0!

i think it would be 42cm
