Use a table to find the solution of the equation. If the solution lies between two consecutive​ integers, identify those integers.

Question

32.9 = 5n-3

If the solution is an​ integer, type this integer.​ Otherwise, type the two consecutive integers between which the solution lies.

Answer 1

To solve the equation 32.9 = 5n - 3, we can use a table to find the solution.

We can start by substituting different values of n and finding the corresponding value of 5n - 3 until we find a value that equals 32.9.

Let's create a table:

n | 5n - 3
--------------
0 | -3
1 | 2
2 | 7
3 | 12
4 | 17
5 | 22
6 | 27
7 | 32
8 | 37

From the table, we can see that 5n - 3 equals 32 for n = 7. Therefore, the solution of the equation is 7.

So, the solution is an integer, and the integer is 7.
