Question

Solve the following equation for N

1/5 (N+3)+4=3/10 (2N-2)


n = ________

Answer 1

n = 13

Explanation:

1/5(n + 3) + 4 = 3/10(2n - 2)

~Simplify both sides

1/5n + 3/5 + 4 = 3/5n - 3/5

~Combine like terms

1/5n + 23/5 = 3/5n - 3/5

~Subtract 23/5 to both sides

1/5n = 3/5n - 26/5

~Multiply 5 to both sides

n = 3n - 26

~Subtract 3n to both sides

-2n = -26

~Divide -2 to both sides

n = 13

Best of Luck!
