Question

N/5 - 5n/10= 1/5
please explain. I semi understand it but still explain thoroughly.

Answer 1

N/5 - 5N/10 = 1/5

Multiply each side by 10 :

2N - 5N = 2

Combine the left side: 2N - 5N = -3N

So the equation now says -3N = 2

Divide each side by -3 : N = -2/3

Answer 2

`(N)/(5)^((2)-(5N)/(10)=(1)/(5)^((2) -we \ bring \ to \ the \ same \ denominator \\\\\ 2N-5N=2 \\\\ -3N=2 \\\\ \boxed{N=-(2)/(3)}`
