If A=NAK what does N=

Question

If A=NAK what does N=

 

I am having a hard time with math word problems. Any help is appreciated.  Thank you

Answer 1

A = NAK ⇒ N = A/(AK) = 1/K

Answer 2

You want to get N by itself, so in order to do that you have to divide both sides by (AK) 

 

A=NAK 

A/(AK)=NAK/AK 

 

Now we want to simplify the problem: 

 

on the left side of the problem A/A is equivalent to 1, so we can eliminate 

on the ride side AK/AK is also equivalent to 1, we so can eliminate as well 

 

after, we are left with this: 

 

K=N   so:  N=K
