Answer:

I THINK ITS (-11/24) I JUST SOLVED FOR "N"

Explanation:

distribute 4/5

12/5n + 8/5= 1/2

-8/5 -8/5

you can't subtract if the denominator does match so multiply 5 to 1/2 and 2 to -8/5 so the denominator becomes 10

12/5n= 5/10-16/10

12/5n= -11/10

multiply 12/5 by it's reciprocal which is 5/12 to isolate the n

n= -11/10. • 5/12

n= -55/120

or -11/24
