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

1 answer

To solve the equation, we first need to combine the fractions on the left side:

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

To combine the fractions, we first need to find a common denominator for 3 and 6, which is 6. We then rewrite the equation with the common denominator:

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

Since both sides of the equation now have the same denominator, we can rewrite it as:

-3N = 2

Now we can solve for N by dividing both sides by -3:

N = -2/3

Therefore, the solution to the equation is N = -2/3.
