solve for n:6(5n-1)=2(15n-3)
I got 30n-6=30n-6 but I think I was suppose to keep going but don't know how. Do I divide or multiply
At this point, since the two sides of the equation have identical values, the equation is true for ALL values of n.
There is no value of n which makes the equation not true.
If you want to keep going, just do what you usually do. Add 6 to both sides:
30n=30n
subtract 30n from both sides:
0=0
Not much else to do now.
To solve the equation 6(5n-1) = 2(15n-3) for n, you can start by simplifying the equation on both sides:
6(5n-1) = 2(15n-3)
First, distribute the 6 to the terms inside the parentheses on the left side, and distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses on the right side:
30n - 6 = 30n - 6
At this point, you've correctly simplified the equation, but it appears to be an identity where both sides are equal. This means that the solution for n could be any value.
To verify this, let's try solving for n further. Since the equation is already simplified, you can subtract 30n from both sides of the equation:
-6 = -6
This equation states that -6 is equal to -6, which is true for any value of n. Therefore, the solution for n is all real numbers.
In summary, the solution for n in the equation 6(5n-1) = 2(15n-3) is an infinite set of real numbers.
