5n+1/8=1/2
\n" ); document.write( "First subtract 1/8 from both sides;
\n" ); document.write( "5n+1/8-1/8=1/2-1/8
\n" ); document.write( "5n=3/8
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide both sides by 5;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5n%2F5\"$ = $\"3%2F8\"$ /5
\n" ); document.write( "When you divide fractions you multiply by the reciprocal;
\n" ); document.write( "5n= $\"3%2F8\"$ ( $\"1%2F5\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "n= $\"3%2F40\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand
\n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( "
