  1. (1/5)(3n+5)=[(n/2)+10 --- first try to get rid of the fractions on each side

    5(1/5)*5(3n+5)=2(n/2) +2(10) - multiply by the denominator.

    5(15n+25)=2n+20 -- is what you get

    75n+150=2n+20 -- the above... simplified

    75n+150-150=2n+20-150 -- subtract the 150 from both sides

    75n=2n-130 -- Subtract 2n from both sides

    73n=-130 -- divide both sides by 73

    n=1.8


  2. n = 90

    Process:

    (1/5)(3n+5) = [(n/2)+10].  Use the distributive property:

    [(3n)/5] + 1 = (n/2) +10.  Gather all n's to one side of the equation:

    [(3n)/5] - (n/2) = 10 - 1.  Factor out n:

    n[(3/5) - (1/2)] = 9.

    n[(6/10) - (5/10)] = 9.

    (1/10)n = 9. Multiply both sides by 10 to get n by itself and you're done!

    n = 90

  3. chea.

    just did the math. its 90.

    you have the work from the other answers, but just to rule out the odd answer.
