1) [tex]6 = 1 - 2n + 5 [/tex]
Reorganize the problem: [tex]6 - 1 - 2 (n) + 5 = ?
[/tex]
[tex]2(n) = 0 [/tex]
÷ [tex]2[/tex] ÷ 2
[tex]0 [/tex] ÷ 2 = 0, right? ; [tex]2 [/tex] ÷ [tex]2 [/tex] [tex] = 1 [/tex], right ? [tex]0 [/tex] ÷[tex]1 = 0 [/tex]
[tex]n = 0 [/tex]
2) [tex]-5 (1 - 5x) + 5 (-8x - 2) = -4 [/tex]
[tex]-15(x) - 11 [/tex]
+11 +11
--- ----
-4 22
× -1 ×-1
------- ------
4 -22
÷ 15 ÷15
[tex]x = \frac{11}{15} [/tex]
