The solution is n = –2 verified as a solution to the equation 1.4n + 2 = 2n + 3.2. What is the last line of the justification?

0.8 = 0.8
–0.8 = –0.8
3 = 3
–3 = –3


Sagot :

Hello,

Answer B : -0.8=-0.8

[tex]n=-2\\1.4*n+2=2*n+3.2\\\\so:\\1.4*(-2)+2=?\ 2*(-2)+3.2\\\\-2.8+2=\ ? -4+3.2\\\\-0.8=-0.8\\[/tex]

The last line of the justification is –0.8 = –0.8

Solving equations

Given the following equation

1.4n + 2 = 2n + 3.2.

Collect the like terms

1.4n - 2n = 3.2 - 2

Substitute n = -2 into the expression

1.4(-2) + 2 = 2(-2) + 3.2
-2.8 + 2 = -4 + 3.2
-0.8 = -0.8

Hence the last line of the justification is –0.8 = –0.8
