tommynaut · Answer

Your equation is a little bit unclear - did you mean this?

$$\left( 6\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } + 5 \frac{ 1 }{ 5 } \right) + 2\frac{ 4 }{ 5 } = n +10$$

tommynaut · Answer

Or did you mean "6 times a half plus 5 times a fifth... etc"?

triciaal · Answer

one approach separate the whole numbers and the fractions to add separately
then add the 2 sub-totals

tommynaut · Answer

If you meant the first scenario, to solve for n you just have to subtract 10 from both sides of the equation. That would get rid of the 10 from the right hand side so you only have n on that side, but what you do to one side of an equation you have to do to the other, so you would have an additional -10 on the left hand side.

triciaal · Answer

you have an equation to solve for the variable isolate and whatever you do to one side also do to the other to maintain the balance

what did you get for n ? do you want me to check?
