Question

Solve each equation for the given variable?

Answer 1

Question 1

Original equation:

1/4x-2=3

Add 2 to both sides:

1/4x=5

Multiply both sides by 4/1:

x=20

Question 2

Original equation:

8=1/5n x 2

Divide both sides by 2

4 = 1/5n

Multiply both sides by 5/1

n=20

Let me know if this helps!

Answer 2

1. x = 20 2. n = 50

Explanation:

1/4x - 2 = 3

1/4x = 5

x = 20

2. 8 = 1/5n - 2

10 = 1/5n

n = 50
