Question

What is the solution to the equation below?
5 - n/2 = 12

Answer 1

Explanation:

5 - n/2 = 12

10/2 - n/2 = 12

n = (12 × (-2)) + 10

n = (-24) + 10

n = -14

Let's prove it :

`5 - ( - (14)/(2) ) \\ = (10)/(2) + (14)/(2) \\ = (24)/(2) \\ = 12`

Conclusion :

5 - n/2 = 12

5 - (-14/2) = 12

and

n = -14
