QuestionSolve the equation: 12n+3=6\frac{1}{2} n + 3 = 6.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation given is 1n+3=6\frac{1}{} n+3=6 . We are solving for the variable nn

STEP 2

We start by isolating the term with nn on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting $$ from both sides of the equation.
12n+=6\frac{1}{2} n+-=6-

STEP 3

Perform the subtraction operation on both sides.
12n=63\frac{1}{2} n=6-3

STEP 4

Calculate the result on the right side of the equation.
12n=3\frac{1}{2} n=3

STEP 5

To solve for nn, we need to get rid of the fraction 12\frac{1}{2} in front of nn. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 22.
212n=232 \cdot \frac{1}{2} n=2 \cdot3

STEP 6

Perform the multiplication operation on both sides.
n=23n=2 \cdot3

STEP 7

Calculate the result on the right side of the equation.
n=6n=6So, the solution to the equation 12n+3=6\frac{1}{2} n+3=6 is n=6n=6.
