Answer:

n = 19/18

Explanation:

11/6 = n + 7/9

To isolate n, we want to subtract 7/9 from both sides.

11/6 - 7/9 = n

To subtract these fractions, they need to have the same denominator. A common multiple of 6 and 9 is 18.

11/6 ⇒ 33/18

7/9 ⇒ 14/18

33/18 - 14/18 = 19/18

n = 19/18

Hope this helps!
