Question 378533
solve the equation 5/6 of N= -60
:
{{{5/6}}}N = -60
Multiply both sides by 6, gets rid of the fraction, results
5N = 6(-60)
5N = -360
divide both sides by 5
N = {{{(-360)/5}}}
N = -72
:
:
See if this is true, replace N with 72 in the original equation
{{{5/6}}}(-72) = -60
cancel 6 into 72
-12 * 5 = -60
