Instructions: Solve the following linear
equation
4(n + 5) – 2(5 + 7n) = -70
n =

Step-by-step explanation:

4*(n +5) - 2*(5 + 7n) = -70

4*n + 4*5 + 5*(-2) + 7n*(-2) = -70

4n + 20 - 10 - 14n = -70

4n - 14n + 20 - 10 = -70

- 10n + 10 = -70

Subtract 10 from both sides

-10n = -70 - 10

-10n = -80

Divide both sides by (-10)

n = -80/-10

n = 8

3)  20% of the students earned a D

Step-by-step explanation:

9 students got a D.

5 students got a C.

14 students got a B.

17 students got an A.

Total number of students:

9 + 5 + 14 + 17 = 45

1)  1/5 of the students earned a C

1/5 of 45 = 9

5 students got a C

False

2) 3% more students earned an A then B

3 more students got an A than a B, but not 3%.

False

3)  20% of the students earned a D

20% of 45 = 9

9 students got a D.

True

4)  1/4 of the class earned a B

1/4 of 45 = 11.25

There were 14 B's.

False

3)  20% of the students earned a D
