N/3 - 5n/6 =1/3

Answer 1

To solve this equation, we need to combine like terms and isolate "n."

First, let's simplify the equation:

N/3 - 5n/6 = 1/3

To combine the fractions, we need to find a common denominator:

Multiply the first term by 2/2 and the second term by 1/1:

2N/6 - 5n/6 = 1/3

Now, we can combine the fractions:

(2N - 5n) /6 = 1/3

To isolate "n," we can multiply both sides of the equation by 6:

6(2N - 5n) /6 = 6(1/3)

2N - 5n = 2

Now, let's isolate "n" by moving 2N to the other side of the equation:

-5n = 2 - 2N

Now, divide by -5 to solve for "n":

n = (2 - 2N) / -5

Therefore, n = (-2 + 2N) / 5.
