n/2-5=15
n/2-5=15
n/2 = 15 + 5
n/2 = 20
n = 40
How do you get n by itself. What do you multiple it by.
Thank you.
To get n by itself, multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
To solve the equation n/2 - 5 = 15, we will follow these steps:
Step 1: Add 5 to both sides of the equation:
(n/2) - 5 + 5 = 15 + 5
(n/2) = 20
Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate n:
2 * (n/2) = 20 * 2
n = 40
Therefore, the value of n that satisfies the equation is 40.
