Question

What is the value of n?
-6.5(n-5)=18.2

Answer 1

n=2.2

Explanation:

1-Combine- [-6.5n(n-5)=18.2

-13(n-5)/2=18.2

2-Distribute-13n-5)/2=18.2

-13n+65/2=18.2

3-Multiply like terms-

-13n+65/2=18.2
`2.-13n+65/2=18.2*2`

4-Multiply all the numbers=
`-13n+65=36.4`

5-Subtract 65 from both sides- -13n+65-65=36.4-65

6-Simplify= -13n=-28.6

7- Divide both sides by the factor e.g= -13n

8- Simplify= -13n/-13n=-28.6/-13n

QA Answer\Solution amounts to=
`2.2`
