Question

Without solving what can you tell about the solution to this equation 0.002n+15=2

Answer 1

We know that the value of n will be negative.

Explanation:

Since 15 is so much larger than 2, we know that the other value on that side would have to be a negative value. Since the coefficient is not negative, we know the variable must be.

Answer 2

Explanation:

When we subtract 15 from both the sides of the equation we will get a negative number after subtraction of 15 from 2.

Therefore, value of n will be negative in notation.

Moreover when we divide this negative number by 0.002 the outcome will be in thousands.
