Question

Solve for the given variable in the equation: ½ n - 3 = 5

n = _______

Answer 1

The correct solution is "n = 16".

Explanation:

The given equation is:

⇒
`(1)/(2) n-3=5`

On adding "3" both sides, we get

⇒
`(1)/(2) n-3+3=5+3`

⇒
`(1)/(2)n=8`

On applying cross multiplication, we get

⇒
`n=8* 2`

⇒
`n=16`
