Question

Steps to the answer of 1/3(n+6)=−10?

Answer 1

1. Distribute to clear out parentheses
2. Subtract 2 from both sides
3. Multiply by 3 on both sides

Answer 2

Answer: n=−36

Step-by-step explanation: When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

n+36

———— • 3 = 0 • 3

3

Now, on the left hand side, the 3 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

n+36 = 0

Solve : n+36 = 0

Subtract 36 from both sides of the equation :

n = -36
