1/5 (n+3) = 1/4 (n+2). what is N=

n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 (n+3) = 1/4 (n+2)

First thing to do here is distribute into the parenthesis.

1/5n+3 (1/5) = 1/4n + 2 (1/4)

Now, multiply to simplify the equation.

1/5n + 3/5 = 1/4n + 1/2

Then, subtract 1/2 to both sides.

1/5n + 3/5 = 1/4n + 1/2

-1/2 - 1/2

1/5n + 1/10 = 1/4n

Now, subtract 1/5 to both sides.

1/5n + 1/10 = 1/4n

-1/5n - 1/5n

1/10 = 1/20n

Finally, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/20.

So, multiply by 20/1.

20/1 * 1/10 = 20/1 * 1/20n

This leaves you with n=2.
