Question

hi can you do #5? also can you do the check too? so i can understand for my next question.

Answer 1

The given equation is-

$6+\frac{n}{5}=-4$

First, we subtract 6 on each side

$\begin{gathered} 6-6+\frac{n}{5}=-4-6 \\ \frac{n}{5}=-10 \end{gathered}$

Then, we multiply the equation by 5

$\begin{gathered} \frac{n}{5}\cdot5=-10\cdot5 \\ n=-50 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the solution is n = -50.

Let's prove this solution. We just have to replace the variable n with the value we found.-

$\begin{gathered} 6+\frac{-50}{5}=-4 \\ 6-10=-4 \\ -4=-4 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the solution is right.
