Question

To solve 9=n+10/3 would you multiply the nine by the three? How would you solve this?

Answer 1

n =
`(17)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given

9 = n +
`(10)/(3)`

Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction

27 = 3n + 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

17 = 3n ( divide both sides by 3 )

`(17)/(3)` = n
