1 5 n - 17 = 8 is what

Question

i need help solving this equation

 

Answer 1

15n-17=8

or, 15n=8+17       (take -17 to the right side of =...                                       So its gives +17)

or, 15n=25         (add 8+17, gives 25)

or, n=25/15       (just divide by 15 both side) 

or, n=(5×5)/(3×5)            (so. 5 cancel out from                                           numerator and denominator) 
 

or, n=5/3=1.6667

or, n=1.67

       

Answer 2

15n-17=8

 

1) Add 17 to both sides to have the variable by itself

 

15n=25

 

2) Divide both sides by 15 to find what n equals

 

n=25/15

 

3) 25/15 can have the numerator and denominator divided by 5

 

n=5/3

 

(The decimal form would then be roughly 1.667)
