You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(n+5)/(n+8)=1+(6/n+1)
\n" ); document.write( "I'll assume you mean (n+5)/(n+8) = 1+ (6/(n+1))
\n" ); document.write( "(n+5)/(n+8) = n=1+ 6/(n+1) = (n+7)/(n+1)
\n" ); document.write( "(n+5)/(n+8) = (n+7)/(n+1)
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "(n+5)(n+1) = (n+8)(n+7)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%5E2+%2B+6n+%2B+5+=+n%5E2+%2B+15n+%2B+56\"$
\n" ); document.write( "6n + 5 = 15n + 56
\n" ); document.write( "-9n = 51
\n" ); document.write( "n = -51/9 = -17/3
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
