Hi

16/10 need to be divided by 2 to get 8/5

8/5=n+2/5

N need to be moved to the other side by subtracting it.

8/5-n=2/5

2/5 need to be moved to the other side by
subtracting it.

-n=2/5-8/5

We need to subtract 2/5 and 8/5 to get the answer before it is solved .

—n=-6/5

We need to change the negative signs to positive signs.

N=6/5

Alternatively, 6/5 is equivalent to 1 1/5 or 1.2.

Hope that helps .
