Explanation:
To solve the equation 2/7 = 8/(n - 10), we can cross-multiply and solve for n.
Cross-multiplying:
2(n - 10) = 7 * 8
Expanding:
2n - 20 = 56
Adding 20 to both sides:
2n = 56 + 20
2n = 76
Dividing both sides by 2:
n = 76/2
n = 38
Therefore, the value of n that satisfies the equation is 38.
