Solve the following problems:d. Agnes said, "I'm thinking of a number N. If I increase my number by 56.2, the sum is 14.62." What was Agnes number?

 

Answer:

n = -41.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number

n  + 56.2 = 14.62

Transpose 56.2 and change its sign

n = 14.62 - 56.2

Subtract

n = −41.58

The number is -41.58

Checking:

n + 56.2 = 14.62

-41.58 + 56.2 = 14.62

14.62 = 14.62
