Question

Help please, show steps
3n/7-1=1/8

Answer 1

Given:

`(3n)/(7)-1=(1)/(8)`

First, let's move the -1 to the right side. When we add
`1 + (1)/(8)`, we get
`(9)/(8)`.

`(3n)/(7)=(9)/(8)`

Now we can cross multiply, multiply (3n)(8) and (7)(9)

`(3n)(8)=(7)(9)`

Simplify the left side.

`24n = (7)(9)`

Simplify the right side.

`24n=63`

Divide both sides by 24 to isolate n.

`(24n)/(24)=(63)/(24)`

Simplify.

`n=(21)/(8)`
