Question

What is the solution to the equation 1 over 2 n = 8?

Answer 1

The answer is:  [D]:  " n = 16 " .______________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________
(1/2) n = 8 ;

Multiply EACH side of the equation by "2" ; to "cancel out" the "(1/2)" on the left-hand-side of the equation; and to isolate "n" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "n" ;
______________________________________________
   2* (1/2) n = 2 * 8  ;
______________________________________________
to get:
______________________________________________
              n = 16  ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [D] .
