Question

0.6( 10n + 25 ) = 10 + 5n

Answer 1

n=−5

Explanation:

0.6(10n+25)=10+5n

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

0.6(10n+25)=10+5n

(0.6)(10n)+(0.6)(25)=10+5n(Distribute)

6n+15=10+5n

6n+15=5n+10

Step 2: Subtract 5n from both sides.

6n+15−5n=5n+10−5n

n+15=10

Step 3: Subtract 15 from both sides.

n+15−15=10−15

n=−5
