Question

use a table to find the solution of the equation. if the solution lies between two consecutive integers, identify those integers.
24.3=5n-2
if the solution is an integer, type this integer. otherwise, type the two consecutive integers between which solution lies.

Answer 1

To find the solution of the equation 24.3 = 5n - 2, we can create a table by substituting different values for n.

n | 5n - 2
--------------
0 | -2
1 | 3
2 | 8
3 | 13
4 | 18
5 | 23
6 | 28

We can see that when n = 4, the equation becomes 5(4) - 2 = 20 - 2 = 18, which is the closest value to 24.3. Thus, the solution lies between the consecutive integers 4 and 5.
