Given the equation:
-6.5(n - 4) = 18.2
Find the value of n.
Solution:
In order to find the value on, we distribute first -6.5 to each value inside the parenthesis.
-6.5(n - 4) = 18.2
-6.5n + 26 = 18.2
Transpose 26 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
-6.5n = 18.2 - 26
-6.5n = -7.8
Divide both sides of the equation by -6.5 in order to determine the value of n.
-6.5n/-6.5 = -7.8/-6.5
n = 1.2
Final answer:
n = 1.2
