Question 408272: Hi, I finished this equation and would like to know if you would check it for me? Did I do it right, if not, where did I go wrong?
(n)/(2)-(1)/(3)=13/6
common demonminator 6, multiply it
6(n)/(2)- 6(1)/(3)= 6 (13)/(6)
3n-2=13
+2 +2
(3n)/(3n) = (15)/(3)
n=5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(n)/(2)-(1)/(3)=13/6
common demonminator 6, multiply it
6(n)/(2)- 6(1)/(3)= 6 (13)/(6)
3n-2=13
+2 +2
(3n)/(3n) = (15)/(3)
n=5
------
Right except for the next-to-last line.
Should be:
3n/3 = 15/3
n = 5
