Question

Solve for n.
17.1 = 5.7 x n

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:  17.1 = 5.7 * n

Divide both sides by 5.7 to get n by itself.

Step 1:  Divide both sides by 5.7

17.1 = 5.7 * n

17.1 / 5.7 = 5.7 * n / 5.7

    divide            divide

3 = n

Answer:  n = 3

Answer 2

We are given the following equation and want to solve for the unknown variable, n:

$17.1=5.7 \times n$

To solve for an unknown variable, we want to isolate the variable by doing operations to both sides of the equation:

• This includes adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing both sides by the same value

For this equation, we'll divide both sides by 5.7 to isolate the unknown variable n

$17.1 \boxed{\div 5.7} = 5.7 \times n \boxed{\div 5.7}$

After dividing both sides by 5.7 and simplifying, we get:

$3=n$

The next step is a bit tedious, but in math, you usually want to have the variable on the LEFT side of the equation after isolation.

After reversing the equation accordingly, we have:

$\boxed{n=3}$

We have a value for n, which is 3.
