I was wondering if I'm writing the right equation for this word problem. The problem is: A number added to the product of 6 and the reciprocal of the number equals -5. My goal is to find the number. So far i have n+6=-5 but then i looked up the definition of a reciprocal and I want to change my equation to n+6 1/-5 but then it wouldn't equal to anything. Are either of them right? </SPAN>\n" );
