Answer:
3, 50, 2
Step-by-step explanation:
By multiplying all terms by 5, we are trying to remove the fraction on the left hand side. On the right hand side of the equation, expand the bracket by multiplying 5 to each term in the bracket.
3(n +25)= 5(10) +5()
3(n +25)= 50 +2n
To find the value of n, expand the bracket on the left hand side:
3(n) +3(25)= 50 +2n
3n +75= 50 +2n
Bring all n terms to one side, constants to the other:
3n -2n= 50 -75
n= -25
