What is (n+8) + (n-12)

n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(n + 8) + (n + -12) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(8 + n) + (n + -12) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (8 + n)

8 + n + (n + -12) = 0

Reorder the terms:

8 + n + (-12 + n) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (-12 + n)

8 + n + -12 + n = 0

Reorder the terms:

8 + -12 + n + n = 0

Combine like terms: 8 + -12 = -4

-4 + n + n = 0

Combine like terms: n + n = 2n

-4 + 2n = 0

Solving

-4 + 2n = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + 2n = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + 2n = 0 + 4

2n = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4

2n = 4

Divide each side by '2'.

n = 2

Simplifying

n = 2

13.33%

say 50 oranges, then 100 apples

80 are red, 20 are yellow

total fruit = 150

20chances out of 150 for yellow

20/150 = 13.33%

answer: 20
