EXPLAIN IN GOOD DETAIL: n/5 + 10 = -20
I'll give a head start correct me if I'm wrong then give a long, good explanation:
First, we do the opposite of addition which is subtraction on both sides:
10 - 10 = 0
-20 - 10 = -30
then the equation is now: n/5 = -30
then we divide both sides by 5
5/5 and -30/5
5 divided by 5 is 1
-30 divided by 5 is -6
N = -6
NOW CORRECT AND TELL ME IF I'M WRONG
IF I AM WRONG EXPLAIN THROUGHLY.
sorry for caps.
Your approach is correct up to the point where you have the equation n/5 = -30.
To solve for n, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation. In this case, you can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5.
n/5 * 5 = -30 * 5
On the left side, the 5s will cancel out, leaving you with just n:
n = -150
So, the correct solution to the equation n/5 + 10 = -20 is n = -150.
You're on the right track, but there is a mistake in your calculations. Let's go through the steps correctly:
Starting with the equation: n/5 + 10 = -20
Step 1: Subtract 10 from both sides to isolate the n/5 term:
n/5 = -20 - 10
Simplifying the right side gives:
n/5 = -30
Step 2: To solve for n, we need to get rid of the division by 5. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5:
5 * (n/5) = -30 * 5
This simplifies to:
n = -150
So, the correct solution is n = -150.
You're almost correct! Let me walk you through the steps and make a correction along the way.
The given equation is: n/5 + 10 = -20
First, we need to isolate the n variable. To do this, we'll start by subtracting 10 from both sides of the equation:
n/5 + 10 - 10 = -20 - 10
The right side simplifies to -30, and on the left side, 10 - 10 equals 0, so we have:
n/5 = -30
Now, to solve for n, we need to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5:
5 * (n/5) = -30 * 5
The left side simplifies to n, and on the right side, -30 multiplied by 5 gives -150, so we have:
n = -150
Therefore, the correct solution to the equation n/5 + 10 = -20 is n = -150.
Great job on getting most of the steps right! Just remember to multiply the whole equation by 5 on both sides to cancel out the fraction.
