Question

How do you solve the following equation: n+2*0.5n+1

Answer 1

Answer:

$n=-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of operators is the next:

• Parenthesis
• Exponents
• Multiplication and division
• Addition
• Subtraction

So the first step is multiply and later add up the rest terms ($0.5 = \frac{1}{2}$).

$n+\frac{2}{2}n + 1 = 0\\n + n + 1 = 0\\2n = -1\\n = -\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

answer: n = -1/2
multiply first, add n terms
(2n + 1 = 0)
2n = -1
n = -1/2
