Question

Am I on the right track with this?
Solve for n n/-8 = -3
(-8/n)(n/-8) =(1/-3)(-8/1)
n=- 8/3
is this correct if n=1

Answer 1

Not quite on track... let's try again...

Answer 2

:( sighs ok

Answer 3

n/-8 = -3

First step: get n alone by multiplying both sides by the denominator on the left which is (-8)

Answer 4

I thought I was doing that by dividing by 8

Answer 5

\[\frac{ n }{ -8 } = -3\]
\[\frac{ n }{ -8 }(-8) = (-3)(-8)\]

Answer 6

You may be thinking about a situation like:

7n = 14
Divide both sides by 7 to get: n = 2

Answer 7

ok I see...I was doing what you did....but I had 1/=3 insteand of -3/1...does that make sense

Answer 8

at least it does to me
