SOLUTION: Solve the equation: (n+6)!/(n+4)!=12
Here is what I have done so far:
(n+6)!/(n+4)!=12 (cross multiply)
(n+6)!/(n+6)!=12/1
0= 12(n+4)!(n+5)!(n+6)!/ (n+6)! (The (n+6)

Question 272184: Solve the equation: (n+6)!/(n+4)!=12
Here is what I have done so far:
(n+6)!/(n+4)!=12 (cross multiply)
(n+6)!/(n+6)!=12/1
0= 12(n+4)!(n+5)!(n+6)!/ (n+6)! (The (n+6)!'s cancel out with each other)
0= (n+4) (n+5) (this is the result when you divide 12 by both sides)
I don't know where to go from here. Did I make an error? or does n= -4 and n=-5 ? Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
