Question 185835
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


<i>n</i> is the number, so *[tex \Large \frac{n}{3}] is one-third of the number and *[tex \Large \frac{n}{2}] is one-half of the number.  So your problem translates directly into the following equation if you consider the word "is" to mean "equals":


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{n}{3} = \frac{n}{2} - 5] 


Solve for <i>n</i> to answer the question.  Hint: Start by multiplying the equation by 6.
