m=-5
9/2n=-1
Do you have a question that follows from these two statements?
No. That's what it says in my book. I have to slove for the m and n.
m = -5
Is that (9/2)*n = -1 OR
9/(2n) = -1. If the latter, then
multiply both sides by 2n to obtain
9 = -2n
Now multiply both sides by -1 to obtain
-9 = 2n, then divide both sides by 2 to obtain
-9/2 = n
Check my work.
To solve the equation 9/2n = -1, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Cross-multiply to eliminate the fraction.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the denominator:
2 * (9/2n) = -1 * 2
This simplifies to: 9n = -2
Step 2: Solve for n.
Divide both sides of the equation by 9:
(9n)/9 = -2/9
This simplifies to: n = -2/9
So the solution to the equation 9/2n = -1 is n = -2/9.
