You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-6n= 2 3/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for n
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Make the mixed number into an improper fraction; it would be 11/4
\n" ); document.write( "-6n = $\"11%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by -4; this eliminates the fraction and a negative on the left
\n" ); document.write( "-4(-6n) = -4* $\"11%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "+24n = -11
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "n = $\"-11%2F24\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original equation
\n" ); document.write( "-6( $\"-11%2F24\"$ ) = $\"11%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "cancel 6 into 24 and you have;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"11%2F4\"$ = $\"11%2F4\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
