Question

Solve the following equation, and check your solution. Be sure to show all work.

Solve -17 + n/5 = 33.

Answer 1

n = 250.

Explanation:

you solve for n by simplifying both sides of the equations, then you isolate the variable.

Answer 2

-17 + n/5 = 33
Add 17 to both sides
n/5=50
Multiply 5 on both sides so that the only thing remaining in the left side is the variable n.
Final Answer: n= 250
