Question

Find n if 103n+26n=131n

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

•103n+26n = 131n

Combine 103 n and 26 n to get 129n

•129n=131n

Substract 131n from both sides

•129n-131n=0

Combine 129n and -131n to get 2n

•-2n=0

Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if atleast one of them is 0. Since -2 is not equal to 0, n must be 0.

•n=0
