Given the equation:
5n + 10 = n+ 4
Solve for n.
Solution:
In order to solve for nm we simply need to transpose 10 and n to the oppose sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
5n + 10 = n + 4
5n - n = 4 - 10
4n = -6
Divide both sides by 4 in order to determine the value of n.
4n/4 = -6/4
n = -3/2
Final answer:
n = -3/2
