Answer:

-1/5

Explanation:

Divide the numbers:

2/2n + 1 = 4/5

1n + 1 = 4/5

Multiply by 1:

1n + 1 = 4/5

n + 1 = 4/5

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:

n + 1 = 4/5

n + 1 -1 = 4/5 -1

Simplify:

N + 1 - 1 = 4/5 -1

N = 4/5 -1

N = 4/5 -1

And this is what you'll get:

N = -1/5

Hope this helps. :]
