Q52. - Algebra 1

Question

Solve each equation. Check your solution.

$6=-\frac{1}{2}n$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required solution is $n=-12$.

Step 1. Write the given information.

The given equation is: $6=-\frac{1}{2}n$

Step 2. Calculation.

Consider the given equation,

$\begin{array}{l}6=-\frac{1}{2}n\\ n=-6\left(2\right)\\ n=-12\end{array}$

Step 3. Checking solution.

Substitute $n=-12$ in the given equation, we get

$\begin{array}{l}6=-\frac{1}{2}n\\ 6=-\frac{1}{2}\left(-12\right)\\ 6=6\end{array}$

Hence, proved.
