To solve the equation 325 + (90 - n)/17 = 330, we need to follow these steps:
Simplify the equation using the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): a. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses first: 90 - n b. Substitute the simplified expression into the equation: 325 + (90 - n)/17 = 330 becomes 325 + (90 - n)/17 = 330
Next, isolate the term with the variable "n" by moving constants to the other side of the equation. a. Subtract 325 from both sides of the equation: (90 - n)/17 = 330 - 325 (90 - n)/17 = 5
Now, multiply both sides of the equation by 17 to get rid of the fraction: a. 17 * (90 - n)/17 = 5 * 17 b. 90 - n = 85
To solve for "n," subtract 90 from both sides of the equation: n = 90 - 85 n = 5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 325 + (90 - n)/17 = 330 is n = 5.
