Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
correct equation is n - 31 = 52
1/2 is equivalent to 2/4 because,
2(1/2) = 2/4
So as you can see if you multiply the numerator(top) and the denominator(bottom) by the same number, you get an equivalent fraction! In my example you can see that I multiplied both by 2.
Answer:
one hand comes off the bat
-10 + a = 6a - 7a
Rearrange the left hand side
a - 10 = 6a - 7a
Simplify 6a - 7a
a - 10 = -a
Add a on both sides
2a - 10 = 0
Add 10 on both sides
2a = 10
Divide by 2 on both sides
a = 5
