The answer is n is - 25

Cora Adams · Answer 2

Simplify both sides of the equation.

3/5 n + 15 = 2/5 n + 10

Subtract 2/5n from both sides.

3/5 n + 15 - 2/5 n = 2/5 n + 10 - 2/5 n 15 n + 15 = 10

Subtract 15 from both sides.

1/5 n + 15 - 15 = 10 - 15 1/5 n = - 5

Multiply both sides by 5.

5 * (1/5n) = (5) * (-5) n = - 25

Answer: n is - 25.
