(07.06 MC) 1 What is the solution to the equation 1/4 (n - 1/4 ) = 1/6 n?n = 6 n= 3 n=3/4 n=3/5

Answer 1

Ariana, this is the solution:

1/4 (n - 1/4) = 1/6n

Solving the parenthesis:

1/4n - 1/16 = 1/6n

Lowest common denominator of 4, 16, and 6 (48):

12n - 3 = 8n

Like terms:

12n - 8n = 3

4n = 3

Dividing by 4 at both sides:

4n/4 = 3/4

C. n = 3/4
