To find the value of n, we need to solve the equation:
-6.5(n - 5) = 18.2
First, distribute -6.5 to both terms inside the parentheses:
-6.5n + 32.5 = 18.2
Now, subtract 32.5 from both sides to isolate the variable:
-6.5n = 18.2 - 32.5
Simplifying the right side:
-6.5n = -14.3
Finally, divide both sides by -6.5 to solve for n:
n = -14.3 / -6.5
n ≈ 2.20
What is the value of n?
−6.5(n−5)=18.2
