What is the value of \( n \)?

\[ 40 = -\frac{5n}{8} \]

Asked by lexyyh

Answer (3)

To find value of n, we have to have only one n of the RHS. To do this, we can multiply both sides by 8 40 = 8 − 5 n ​ /*8 320 = − 5 n Now we can divide both sides by -5 320 = − 5 n / :(-5) − 64 = n
Result is -64

The value of n is − 64 . This is found by first eliminating the fraction and then isolating n through division. The steps lead to the conclusion that n = − 64 .
