now, let's take a peek at the denominators, we have 3 and 8 and 12, we can get an LCD of 24 from that.
Let's multiply both sides by the LCD of 24, to do away with the denominators.
so, let's recall that a whole is "1", namely 500/500 = 1 = whole, or 5/5 = 1 = whole or 24/24 = 1 = whole. So the whole class will yield a fraction of 1/1 or just 1.

Answer:
-5 = -5.4n
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2.4n -3 = -7.8n+2
add 2.4 to both sides
which would give you
-3 = -5.4n + 2
then you would subtract -2 from both sides
and -5 = -5.4n and this is one solution
I think there would be two soulutions. ax^2 and c^2. Hope it's right. sorry if it is not. But hope it is and hope it helps.
