Question

When a number, n, is increased by two and then the result is divided by

Write an equation and solve it to find the value of n.
ult is divided by five the quotient is equal to 14.

Answer 1

n=68

Step by step explanation:

When a number n is increased by two means n+2 so we can put parenthesis around it

(n+2)/5 = 14

now we solve for the equation (for the variable n)

First multiply both sides by 5 to isolate the parenthesis on the left side by itself

(n+2) = 14*5

then we can simply isolate n by itself by subtracting both sides by 2

n = 70 -2 = 68

n = 68
