Can you please help me with this problem? I keep getting 13.6 but that is not one of the choices.
10 - 3.2n
By the way n=2
The answer choices are:
A. 6.8
B. 3.6
C. 13.2
D. 16.4
This is a subtraction problem.
Yeah, I know it is, but can you help me with the answer, please? What I did was I took 10 - 3.2 which equals 6.8 and then I multiplied 6.8 x 2 because n equals 2. 6.8 x 2 = 13.6. So I must be doing it wrong but I don't know-how.
You must multiply 3.2 by 2 first, then subtract that from 10. So 10-6.4=3.6.
Oh ok, that makes sense. Thank you so much!
Of course, I can help you with that problem! You mentioned that you obtained an answer of 13.6, but it seems that none of the answer choices are a close match to your result.
Let's go through the problem step by step to identify any mistakes and find the correct answer.
We are given the expression: 10 - 3.2n
You mentioned that n = 2, so let's substitute this value into the expression:
10 - 3.2(2)
Now, we can simplify the expression:
10 - 6.4
By performing the subtraction, we get:
3.6
Therefore, the correct answer should be 3.6, which is option B.
Based on your statement, it seems that you might have made a mistake while substituting the value of n. Make sure to double-check your work and ensure that all calculations are accurate.
