N/8 + 1 = - 25 what is n?

Answer: = 2

Step-by-step explanation

:Solve the rational equation by combining expressions and isolating the variable

n

.

n

=

2

Step-by-step explanation:

n/8 + 1 = - 25 ... subtract 1 from both sides

n/8 = - 25 - 1

n/8 = - 26 ... multiply both sides by 8, eliminating the 8 on the left

n = - 26 * 8

n = - 208 <===

another way this can be done is:

n/8 is the same as (1/8) n

1/8n + 1 = - 25

1/8n = - 25 - 1

1/8n = - 26 ... now u can either multiply both sides by 8, or u can divide both sides by 1/8

either way, u will arrive at the same answer
