What is the value of n?



−6.5(n−5)=18.2

1 answer

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
