Chapter 4.4, Problem 26PPS

To determine

To solve and check: the given equation

Answer to Problem 26PPS

The required solution is $n=-33$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $\frac{2}{3}n=-22$

Calculation:

To solve equation and check the solution

  $\frac{2}{3}n=-22$

Multiply both sides of equation by $\frac{3}{2}$

  $\begin{array}{l}n=-22\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)\\ n=-33\end{array}$

Solution:- $n=-33$

Check

Substitute $n=-33$ in $\frac{2}{3}n=-22$

  $\frac{2}{3}\left(-33\right)=-22$

  $-22=-22$

Left hand side = Right hand side

Hence verified. So solution is $n=-33$

Conclusion:

The required solution is $n=-33$
