OK I need so much help: i can't figure out this problem, and if i don't get it right i get an f on the assignmrnt: ok here is the problem:

5/6n+4= 5 7/8
HELP

All you have done is presented an equation. Are you supposed to figure out the value of n? Did you mean to write (5/6)n or 5/(6n)? They are NOT the same. When you write 5/6n, it is not clear which you mean.

If you want to solve for n and you meant (5/6)n on the left, first subtract 4 from both sides of the equation. This gives you
(5/6) n = 1 7/8 = 15/8
Next, divide both sides by 5/6. That will tell you what n is.

n = (15/8)(6/5) = ?

Serena, I can not ell exactly what you mean because you did not use parentheses.

1. (5/6)n + 4 = 5 7/8
2. (5/6)(n+4) =5 7/8
3. 5/(6n+4) = 5 7/8
4. [5/(6n)] +4 = 5 7/8
etc
Help!

5/6n+4= 5 7/8

First, let's get the knowns on the right side.

5/6n + 4 - 4 = 5 7/8 - 4
5/6n = 1 7/8

n = 1 7/8 divided by 5/6
n = 15/8 * 6/5
n = 90/40
n = 2 10/40 = 2 1/4

Sure, I'd be happy to help! Let's break down the problem step by step.

The equation you provided is: 5/6n + 4 = 5 7/8

To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable 'n' on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: To get rid of the constant term on the left side of the equation, subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.

5/6n + 4 - 4 = 5 7/8 - 4

Simplifying this equation, we get:

5/6n = 5 7/8 - 32/8
5/6n = (47/8) - (32/8)
5/6n = 15/8

Step 2: To eliminate the fraction on the left side of the equation, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/6, which is 6/5.

(6/5)(5/6n) = (6/5)(15/8)

Simplifying, we get:

n = (6/5)(15/8)

Step 3: Multiplying the numerators and the denominators, we have:

n = (6 * 15) / (5 * 8)

Calculating this, we get:

n = 90/40

Step 4: Simplifying the fraction, we find:

n = 9/4 or n = 2.25

So, the solution to the equation 5/6n + 4 = 5 7/8 is n = 9/4 or n = 2.25.

Remember to always check your answers by substituting them back into the original equation to make sure they satisfy it.
