4m+5n=25 solve for n.
First, subtract 4m from both sides because it doesn't have an n.
-4m+4m+5n=-4m+25
5n=-4m+25
n is being multiplied by 5 so divide both sides of the equation by 5
5n%2F5=%28-4m%2B25%29%2F5
n=-4m%2F5%2B25%2F5
highlight%28n=%28-4%2F5%29m%2B5%29
Hope that helped. Happy calculating!!!
