Answer 3

If you divide, the sign will not change. 272/16 = 136/8 = 68/4 = 34/2 = 17

Answer 4

you must've subtracted it

Answer 5

OH WAIT OKAY I SEE NOW

Answer 6

i'm still partially confused about tkhunny's reply though. can you explain a little more in depth?

Answer 7

272/16 was good enough. I was just simplifying the fraction. You should be able to do that. Or, just use a calculator and see what you get.

Answer 8

So you basically have to get n by itself.
so that means that you would have to divide 16, on each side to even out the equation, THEN you would get n alone and have your answer. so 272/16= 17

Answer 9

n=17.
