To solve the equation, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction on the right side, which is 17/5.
So, we have:
-9 = (5/17) * n
Multiplying both sides by 17/5, we get:
(-9)*(17/5) = (5/17) * n * (17/5)
-153/5 = n
Therefore, the solution to the equation is n = -153/5.

11 – (2v + 3) = –2v – 8
11 – (2 v + 3) = –2 v – 8
5w + 8 – w = 6w – 2(w – 4)
5 w + 8 – w = 6 w – 2( w – 4)
7m – 2 = 8m + 4 – m
7 m – 2 = 8 m + 4 – m
8y + 9 = 8y – 3
To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable 'n'. Let's do that step by step.
Given: –9 = (5/17)n
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by 17 to eliminate the fraction:
-9 * 17 = (5/17)n * 17
-153 = 5n
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for 'n':
-153/5 = 5n/5
n = -153/5
Step 3: Simplify the fraction if possible:
n = -30.6
Therefore, the solution to the equation is n = -30.6.
To solve the equation –9 = 5/17n, we need to isolate the variable n.
To isolate n, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 17, which is the denominator of 5/17n. This will allow us to eliminate the fraction.
-9 * 17 = (5/17n) * 17
Simplifying the equation, we have:
-153 = 5n
To solve for n, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
-153/5 = 5n/5
Simplifying further:
-30.6 = n
Therefore, the solution to the equation –9 = (5/17)n is n = -30.6.
