solve the equation 5/6 of N= -60
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F6\"$ N = -60
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 6, gets rid of the fraction, results
\n" ); document.write( "5N = 6(-60)
\n" ); document.write( "5N = -360
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "N = $\"%28-360%29%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "N = -72
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if this is true, replace N with 72 in the original equation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F6\"$ (-72) = -60
\n" ); document.write( "cancel 6 into 72
\n" ); document.write( "-12 * 5 = -60 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
