Question

Solve each question 23. -7/8 = 2/3 + n

Answer 1

n = -
`(37)/(24)`

Explanation:

Given

-
`(7)/(8)` =
`(2)/(3)` + n

Multiply through by 24 ( the LCM of 8 and 3 ) to clear the fractions

- 21 = 16 + 24n ( subtract 16 from both sides )

- 37 = 24n ( divide both sides by 24 )

-
`(37)/(24)` = n
