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 :)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
: The number of vibrations per second of the nylon guitar string.
: Tension.
: The length of the string.
Since varies directly with the square root of the
and inversely with
, the equation has the following form:
Where "k" is the constant of variation.
Knowing that when and
,
, we can find the value of "k":
Finally, in order to find the tension when the length is 0.3 meters and the number of vibrations is 12, you need to substitute these values and the value of "k" into and solve for
