Question

Solve for n.25n−3=5n+8 Enter your answer in the box.n =

Answer 1

Consider the following equation:

`25n\text{ - 3 = 5n +8}`

putting together like terms, this equation is equivalent to:

`25n\text{ -5n = 8}+3`

this is equivalent to:

`20\text{ n = 11}`

solving for n, we get:

`n\text{ = }(11)/(20)=0.55`

so that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

`n\text{ = }0.55`
