Question

4.5 = 0.5n

Is this specific question like the other one I asked?

Any idea how to solve it?

Answer 1

Simplifying

4.5 = 0.5n

Solving

4.5 = 0.5n

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5n' to each side of the equation.

4.5 + -0.5n = 0.5n + -0.5n

Combine like terms: 0.5n + -0.5n = 0.0

4.5 + -0.5n = 0.0

Add '-4.5' to each side of the equation.

4.5 + -4.5 + -0.5n = 0.0 + -4.5

Combine like terms: 4.5 + -4.5 = 0.0

0.0 + -0.5n = 0.0 + -4.5

-0.5n = 0.0 + -4.5

Combine like terms: 0.0 + -4.5 = -4.5

-0.5n = -4.5

Divide each side by '-0.5'.

n = 9

Simplifying

n = 9
