I have the answer, but want to double check.
1/5n + 3 = 6. I have the answer to be 15 (where n is 15). The 1/5 is a fraction. Is n=15?

Question

I have the answer, but want to double check.  
1/5n + 3 = 6.  I have the answer to be 15 (where n is 15).  The 1/5 is a fraction.  Is n=15?

anonymous · Answer

so the equation is 
1/5n+3=6             substract 3 from both sides
1/5n=3                  then multiply both sides by 5
n=15                      so you are indeed correct!
