Solve: 3n - 6 = -8(6 +5n)
and explain how to solve it

Step-by-step explanation:

First use distributive property: a(b + c) = a*b + a*c

3n - 6 = -8(6 + 5n)

3n - 6 = 6 * (-8) + 5n *(-8)

3n - 6 = -48 - 40n

Now add 40n to both sides

3n - 6 + 40n = -48 - 40n + 40n

43n - 6 = -48

Now add 6 to both sides

43n - 6 + 6 = -48 + 6

           43n = -42

               n = -42 /43

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.
