Question

N/6=N+7/8 Solve for N

Answer 1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

$\frac{1}{6}$n=n+$\frac{7}{8}$

Step 2: Subtract n from both sides.

$\frac{1}{6}$n−n=n+$\frac{7}{8}$−n

$\frac{-5}{6}$n=$\frac{7}{8}$

Step 3: Multiply both sides by $\frac{6}{-5}$.

($\frac{6}{-5}$)*($\frac{-5}{6}$n)=($\frac{6}{-5}$)*($\frac{7}{8}$)

n=$\frac{-21}{20}$
