Question

N/6=N+7/8 Solve for N

Answer 1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

`(1)/(6)`n=n+
`(7)/(8)`

Step 2: Subtract n from both sides.

`(1)/(6)`n−n=n+
`(7)/(8)`−n

`(-5)/(6)`n=
`(7)/(8)`

Step 3: Multiply both sides by
`(6)/(-5)`.

(
`(6)/(-5)`)*(
`(-5)/(6)`n)=(
`(6)/(-5)`)*(
`(7)/(8)`)

n=
`(-21)/(20)`
