Question

Can some body check my math on this one(question #6) I think it’s n=26 am I right?

Answer 1

n=26

Explanation:

We are given the equation:

`-413.4=-15.9n`

We want to solve for the unknown variable, which is n. Therefore, we must isolate n on one side of the equation.

n is being multiplied by -15.9. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by -15.9

`(-413.4)/(-15.9) =(-15.9n)/(-15.9)`

`(-413.4)/(-15.9)=n`

`26=n`

Let's check our solution. Plug 26 in for n and solve.

`-413.4=-15.9n`

`-413.4=-15.9(26)`

Multiply -15.9 and 26.

`-413.4=-413.4`

This checks out, so we know our solution is correct.

The solution to this equation is n=26 and you are correct!

Answer 2

`n=26`

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`-413.4=-15.9n`

To figure out the value of n, divide both sides by -15.9. The right will cancel. Thus:

`n=(-413.4)/(-15.9)`

Use a calculator:

`n=26`

So, the answer is 26.

So, yes, you are very correct!
