There are several methods you could use, to solve this problem. I'll show you ONE way :)
Working:
- We need to expand the brackets first.
Thus,
multiply 2/3 to each term in side the bracket.
2 × n = 2n then divide 2n to the denominator.
2n ÷ 3 becomes, 2/3n.
Following same method:
2 × -6 = -12
-12 ÷ 3 = -4
Answer for the expanded form is; 2/3n - 4 = 5n - 43.
From here, you need to place the like terms on one side of the equation.
So,
2/3n - 5n = -43 + 4
-13/3n = -39
Then divide the coefficent (-13/3) on both sides.
n = 9
I'll upload a picture of my workings. It cuts of the question, but that's fine, you can still see the working out. Chur
Hope this makes sense :)

This equation is a linear equation. They form straight lines. In this case, the line goes through the origin of a cartesian plane. It can be rewritten as
y = 2/5x.
The graph looks like this:
y = 2/5x.

The water level in Ricky lake changes at an average of -7/48 inch for 1 year
It means that
In 1 year , the water level changes at
and we have to find the water level change after 5 years
so, we can multiply both sides by 5
In 5*1 year , the water level changes at
In 5 years , the water level changes at
Hence,
the water level change after 5 years is ........Answer
