Question

When a number is added to n plus StartFraction 1 Over 5 EndFraction n equals 24. of itself, the result is 24. The equation that models this problem is n + n plus StartFraction 1 Over 5 EndFraction n equals 24.n = 24. What is the value n?

Answer 1

B: n=20

Explanation:

Answer 2

n = 20

Explanation:

Given the equation

`n+(1)/(5)n=24`

Multiply the whole equation by 5:

`\left(n+(1)/(5)n\right)\cdot 5=24\cdot 5\\ \\5n+n=120\\ \\6n=120\\ \\n=(120)/(6)\\ \\n=20`
