We are given the following equation and want to solve for the unknown variable, n:


17.1=5.7 * n

To solve for an unknown variable, we want to isolate the variable by doing operations to both sides of the equation:

  • This includes adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing both sides by the same value

For this equation, we'll divide both sides by 5.7 to isolate the unknown variable n


17.1 \boxed{/ 5.7} = 5.7 * n \boxed{/ 5.7}

After dividing both sides by 5.7 and simplifying, we get:


3=n

The next step is a bit tedious, but in math, you usually want to have the variable on the LEFT side of the equation after isolation.

After reversing the equation accordingly, we have:


\boxed{n=3}

We have a value for n, which is 3.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer:

n = 3

Explanation:

Equation: 17.1 = 5.7 * n

Divide both sides by 5.7 to get n by itself.

Step 1: Divide both sides by 5.7

17.1 = 5.7 * n

17.1 / 5.7 = 5.7 * n / 5.7

divide divide

3 = n
