Question

Solve for n 2/3 (1+n) = -1/2n

Answer 1

Answer:

$n = -\frac{3}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking process:

The equation can be set as follows:

$\frac{2}{3(1+n)} = -\frac{1}{2n}$

The lowest common denominator is the product of the two numbers:

3(1+n) and (2n).

Cross-multiplying gives:

$2 (2n) = -1*3(1+n)$

$4n = -3-3n$

solving for n gives:

7n = -3

therefore, n = $-\frac{3}{7}$
