Question

1/5(n+3)=1/4(n+2). what is N=

Answer 1

n= 2

Explanation:

1/5(n+3)= 1/4(n+2)

First thing to do here is distribute into the parenthesis.

1/5n+3(1/5)= 1/4n+ 2(1/4)

Now, multiply to simplify the equation.

1/5n+ 3/5= 1/4n+ 1/2

Then, subtract 1/2 to both sides.

1/5n+ 3/5= 1/4n+ 1/2

-1/2 -1/2

1/5n+ 1/10= 1/4n

Now, subtract 1/5 to both sides.

1/5n+ 1/10= 1/4n

-1/5n -1/5n

1/10= 1/20n

Finally, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/20.

So, multiply by 20/1.

20/1 × 1/10= 20/1× 1/20n

This leaves you with n=2.
