4/3n + 11/2=3/2

1 answer

To solve the equation \( \frac{4}{3}n + \frac{11}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \), follow these steps:

  1. Isolate the term with \( n \): Subtract \( \frac{11}{2} \) from both sides:

    \[ \frac{4}{3}n = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{11}{2} \]

    The right side simplifies to:

    \[ \frac{3 - 11}{2} = \frac{-8}{2} = -4 \]

    So now we have:

    \[ \frac{4}{3}n = -4 \]

  2. Solve for \( n \): To isolate \( n \), multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \( \frac{4}{3} \), which is \( \frac{3}{4} \):

    \[ n = -4 \cdot \frac{3}{4} \]

    Simplifying:

    \[ n = -3 \]

The solution is:

\[ \boxed{-3} \]
