Question

Solve for n:

5n = 5
A. n = 8
B. n = 5
C. n = 2
D. n = 1

Answer 1

Answer: 1

5n = 5

1. Divide both sides by 5 (number before n), to get answer:

5n = 5 |:5
n = 1

So the answer is, D) n = 1

Answer 2

Answer: n = 1

Big Idea:

In order to solve this equation, I'm going to isolate x.

Step-by-step solution:

Given equation:

`\bigstar\quad\sf{5n=5}`

In order to solve for x, I'm going to divide both sides by 5:

`\bigstar\quad\sf{\cfrac{5n}{5}=\cfrac{5}{5}}`

Simplify:

`\bigstar\quad\sf{n=1}` {answer}. Therefore, n = 1.
