Given the equation:

-3/8n = -0.6

Resolve the equation to determine the value of n.

Solution:

In order to resolve the equation to determine the value of n, we simply need to multiply both sides by 8n, to cancel out -3/8n.

-3/8n = -0.6

(8n) -3/8n = -0.6 (8n)

-3 = -4.8n

Divide both sides by -4.8 to cancel out -4.8n leaving behind n.

-3 / -4.8 = -4.8n/-4.8

n = 0.625

Final answer:

n = 0.625
