18 / n - 7 = 2

18 / n =9

18 = 9n

2 = n

18 / 2 - 7 = 2

9 - 7 = 2

2 = 2

N/2 -7 = -6

add 7 to both sides;
n/2 -7+7 = -6+7

n/2 = 1
multiply both sides by 2 ( or divide by 1/2 ) in order to get n by itself.

n/2 * 2/1 = 1 * 2/1

n = 2

For this case we must find the amount of medium sodas that Natalie's group can buy, taking into account that they have 20 dollars and that each medium soda costs 1.25 dollars. To solve, we must divide:

Let "x" be the number of medium sodas you can buy, then:

$x = \frac {20} {1.25}\\x = 16$
