Question

solve for n

10n=5

simplify your answer as much as possible
n=

Answer 1

To solve for \( n \) in the equation \( 10n = 5 \), divide both sides by 10:

\[
n = \frac{5}{10}
\]

Simplifying \( \frac{5}{10} \) gives:

\[
n = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
n = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Answer 2

solve for y.

-37=5(y-2)-8y
simplify your answer as much as possible
y=

Answer 3

To solve for \( y \) in the equation:

\[
-37 = 5(y - 2) - 8y
\]

First, distribute the \( 5 \) on the right-hand side:

\[
-37 = 5y - 10 - 8y
\]

Now, combine like terms on the right-hand side:

\[
-37 = (5y - 8y) - 10
\]
\[
-37 = -3y - 10
\]

Next, add \( 10 \) to both sides:

\[
-37 + 10 = -3y
\]
\[
-27 = -3y
\]

Now, divide both sides by \( -3 \):

\[
y = \frac{-27}{-3}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
y = 9
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
y = 9
\]
