Answer: n = 4

Explanation:

We will first write a mathematical equation to represent the situation. Then, we will solve it.

The sum of n → Sum means addition, so "n +"

product of 5 times n → Product and times means multiplication, so "5n"

is 24 → Is represents equals, so "= 24"

The sum of N and the product 5 times n is 24 → n + 5n = 24

Now that we have our equation, we can solve. We will do this by adding n and 5n, then dividing both sides of the equation by 6.

n + 5n = 24

6n = 24

n = 4
