Question

How do you solve and check your solutions to n/4.6=-2.5#?

Answer 1

`n=-11.5`

Explanation:

`"multiply both sides of the equation by 4.6"`

`cancel(4.6)xxn/cancel(4.6)=-2.5xx4.6larrcolor(blue)" eliminates fraction"`

`rArrn=-11.5`

`color(blue)"As a check"`

Substitute this value into the left side and if equal to the right side then it is the solution.

`"left side "=-11.5/4.6=-2.5=" right side"`

`rArrn=-11.5" is the solution"`
