Answer:


n = 32

Explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction.

First, add 10 to both sides of the equation:


(n)/(2) - 10 = 6\\\ \\(n)/(2)- 10 (+10) = 6 (+10)\\ \\(n)/(2) = 6 + 10\\\\(n)/(2) = 16

Next, isolate the variable n by multiply 2 to both sides of the equation:


(n)/(2) = 16


(n)/(2) *2 = 16 * 2


n = 16 * 2\\n = 32


n = 32 is your answer.
