Question

Which is the solution to 4/5(n-3)=n-2

Answer 1

-2 = n

Explanation:

Multiplying both sides by (5/4) quickly isolates (n - 3):

(5/4)(4/5)(n - 3) = (5/4)(n - 2), or

n - 3 = (5/4)(n - 2)

Let's eliminate fractions by multiplying both sides by 4:

4n - 12 = 5n - 10

Combining like terms, we get -2 = n
