Question

I need help finding a solution to this equation: 5 (n-1/10)=1/2

Answer 1

n = 1/5

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5(n− 1 /10 )= 1/ 2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(n− 1 /10 )= 1 /2

(5)(n)+(5)( −1 /10 )= 1/2

(Distribute)

5n + −1 /2 = 1 /2

Step 2: Add 1/2 to both sides.

5n + −1 /2 + 1 /2 = 1 /2 + 1 /2

5n=1

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

5n /5 = 1 /5

n= 1 /5
