Answer:
n=−43/3
Step-by-step explanation:
−42/3=2n/3+1/3+n/3
−14=2/3n+1/3+1/3n
−14=(2/3n+1/3n)+(1/3)
−14=n+1/3
Flip the equation.
n+1/3=−14
Subtract 1/3 from both sides.
n+1/3−1/3=−14−1/3
n=−43/3
You have that situation with ANY base that's less than ' 1 '.
Examples:
(0.9)² = 0.81 (90% of the base)
(7/8)² = 0.765625 (87.5% of the base)
(1/2)² = 1/4 (50% of the base)
(0.1)² = 0.01 (10% of the base)
Each of these results is less than the base, and with
higher positive powers, they keep getting smaller.
