Question

1/3(5n+12)+1/3n=-1

Answer 1

2n+3

Answer 2

what does n equal

Answer 3

This is the 3rd time you've asked this question.. Where did you end up the last 2 times?

Answer 4

-2/5

Answer 5

i got kicked off the internet n had to get back on

Answer 6

That's not quite right. You were up to this point before:

\[6n + 12 = -3\]

Answer 7

now subtract 12 on both sides

Answer 8

\[6n+12-12=-3-12\]

Answer 9

so 6n =-15

Answer 10

so n= -2/5

Answer 11

Nope, try that division again.

Answer 12

Divide both sides by 6.

Answer 13

\[n = -\frac{15}{6}\]

Answer 14

\[6n/6 = -15/6\]

Answer 15

Then you can reduce it by cancelling a factor of 3 from top and bottom to get \[n = -\frac{5}{2}\]

Answer 16

So you were pretty close, just got your fraction flipped somehow.

Answer 17

i got that last part on reduc ing
