Question

Solve for n.25n−3=5n+8 Enter your answer in the box.n =

Answer 1

Solution:

Consider the following equation:

$25n\text{ - 3 = 5n +8}$

putting together like terms, this equation is equivalent to:

$25n\text{ -5n = 8}+3$

this is equivalent to:

$20\text{ n = 11}$

solving for n, we get:

$n\text{ = }\frac{11}{20}=0.55$

so that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

$n\text{ = }0.55$
