Question

8 = n/29
Is n = 116 a solution to this equation?

Answer 1

To determine if \( n = 116 \) is a solution to the equation \( 8 = \frac{n}{29} \), we can substitute \( n \) with 116 in the equation and see if both sides are equal.

Starting with the equation:

\[
8 = \frac{n}{29}
\]

Substituting \( n = 116 \):

\[
8 = \frac{116}{29}
\]

Now, we can simplify the right side:

\[
\frac{116}{29} = 4
\]

Now we have:

\[
8 \neq 4
\]

Since \( 8 \) does not equal \( 4 \), \( n = 116 \) is **not** a solution to the equation \( 8 = \frac{n}{29} \).
