Question 650518
{{{47=2n+5(1-8n)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{47=2n+5-40n}}} Distribute.



{{{47=-38n+5}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{0=-38n+5-47}}} Subtract {{{47}}} from both sides.



{{{38n=5-47}}} Add {{{38n}}} to both sides.



{{{38n=-42}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{n=(-42)/(38)}}} Divide both sides by {{{38}}} to isolate {{{n}}}.



{{{n=-21/19}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{n=-21/19}}}
