Question

How do you solve `n/5-6=11`?

Answer 1

`n=85`

Explanation:

To eliminate the fraction on the left side of the equation, multiply `color(blue)"all terms by 5"`

`cancel(5)^1xxn/cancel(5)^1-(5xx6)=(5xx11)`

`rArrn-30=55`

To solve for n. add 30 to both sides.

`ncancel(-30)cancel(+30)=55+30`

`rArrn=85" is the solution"`
