The difference of a number and 6 is the same as 5 times the sum of the number and 2. What is the number? A. -4
B.-2
C.-1
D. 1

n = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

You must write and solve a symbolic equation.

n - 6 = 5(n + 2), or

n - 6 = 5n + 10

Combining like terms, we get:

-16 = 4n,

and so n = -4

true

explanation:

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
