Answer:

\frac{n-6}{3n} = \frac{n-5}{3n+1} \\\\\frac{n-6}{3n} - \frac{n-5}{3n+1} = 0\\\\\frac{(3n+1)(n-6)-3n(n-5)}{3n(3n+1)} = 0\\\\(3n+1)(n-6)-3n(n-5) = 0\\\\3n^2-18n+n-6-3n^2+15n=0\\\\3n^2-3n^2-18n+n+15n-6=0\\\\-2n-6=0\\\\2n+6=0\\\\2n=-6\\\\n=-3

You can solve this equation by applying the zero product rule.

Firstly, you equate the expression to 0 in order to combine both fractions into one. As shown in Step 2, you find the LCM of both fractions and multiply accordingly. In this case, the LCM of both fractions is 3n(3n+1). Hence you cross multiply.

Next, you eliminate the denominator in order to solve the equation more conveniently. As you multiply the fraction by the denominator on the LHS, you do that to the RHS as well to maintain balance. 0×3n(3n+1)=0, hence Step 3.

Then, you expand the parentheses using the distributive law of multiplication, resulting in a quadratic equation.

Lastly, you solve the quadratic equation.

The answer is n=-3

Crossroads, a sad vaudeville by Carlos Solorzano who comes from Guatemala. The quote relates to how the woman learn about how the man is looking for a young and beautiful girl like in the picture he has. When the woman realizes the man doesn't recognize her when she lifts her veil -despite having given him hints that she was the woman in the picture- she learns she can never be the woman in the picture so she leaves.

With the ocean providing over half the oxygen we breathe and being a major source of food for the world’s population, there is a critical need for action and we all have the ability to make change.
Each year, at least eight million tonnes of plastics flow into the ocean — which is equivalent to dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute. If no action is taken, this is expected to increase to two per minute by 2030 and four per minute by 2050.
It’s sad to look at this picture and NOT look at how hurt sea animals are being hurt, how this WILL affect us in the near future, maybe even affecting us right now and we are too blind to notice. It’s painful to think of these things because sooo much is being lost. I hope people can open there eyes and realize the damage they are causing.
