What is the solution for the equation? 14.8 = n minus 0.3
n = negative 15.1
n = negative 14.5
n = 14.5
n = 15.1

Simplifying

14.8 = n + -0.3

Reorder the terms:

14.8 = -0.3 + n

Solving

14.8 = -0.3 + n

Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Add '-1n' to each side of the equation.

14.8 + -1n = -0.3 + n + -1n

Combine like terms: n + -1n = 0

14.8 + -1n = -0.3 + 0

14.8 + -1n = -0.3

Add '-14.8' to each side of the equation.

14.8 + -14.8 + -1n = -0.3 + -14.8

Combine like terms: 14.8 + -14.8 = 0.0

0.0 + -1n = -0.3 + -14.8

-1n = -0.3 + -14.8

Combine like terms: -0.3 + -14.8 = -15.1

-1n = -15.1

Divide each side by '-1'.

n = 15.1

Simplifying

n = 15.1

Hope this helps :):

D

Step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
