Question

18 2/5 - n = -10 1/3

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $n=28\frac{11}{15}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

18 2/5 - n = -10 1/3.

Now, to solve the equation:

$18\frac{2}{5} - n = -10 \frac{1}{3}$

Converting the mixed fractions to improper:

⇒$\frac{92}{5} -n=-\frac{31}{3}$

Moving the numbers on one side and variable to the other:

⇒$\frac{92}{5} +\frac{31}{3}=n$

Now, solving the factions:

⇒$\frac{92\times 3+31\times 5}{15}=n$

⇒$\frac{276+155}{15}=n$

⇒$\frac{431}{15}=n$

⇒$28\frac{11}{15}=n$

Therefore, the answer is $n=28\frac{11}{15}$.
