D. 4(b - 3) =
9 - 2b
????

Answer 1

4(N+3) +9 = 2N

Answer 2

Can you figure it out if I give you that?

Answer 3

Just rearrange the equation I gave you and use b instead of n

Answer 4

First you have to isolate N. Do you know how to do that, or do you need me to help you with that?

Answer 5

Sorry, I mean N. I was looking at okdutchman7's reply XD

Answer 6

4(n+3) = 2n - 9

Answer 7

its just asking me to put that sentence into a equation, i do not have to solve anything.
It will either be A,B,C, or D

Answer 8

Change what I wrote from n to b and that is your answer

Answer 9

I can't give you the answer directly.

Answer 10

oh thank you

Answer 11

Okay. First, you will have to subtract 9 from each side. This will give you 4(b+3) = 2b-9.

Answer 12

The answer is B.
