Answer:
-96/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi!
All we need to do is interpret the words into an equation.
As an equation:
n + 18 = n ÷ 16
Writing n ÷ 16 as a fraction:
n + 18 = [tex]\frac{n}{16}[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 16 (gets rid of fraction.):
[tex]n\cdot \:16=\frac{n}{16}\cdot \:16-18\cdot \:16[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]16n=n-288[/tex]
Subtract n:
[tex]15n=-288[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]15n=-288[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 15:
[tex]n=-\frac{96}{5}[/tex]
Check:
[tex]-\frac{96}{5}[/tex] + 18 = [tex]-\frac{6}{5}[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{96}{5}\:\div 16[/tex] = [tex]-\frac{6}{5}[/tex].
So we are correct!
Hope this helps!
