Question

drag each tile to the correct box.
match each equation with its solution.

n = 1 n = -1/5 n = -1 n = -25

equation solution
n - 13 = -12
-5n = 1
n + 15 = -10
n/5 = -1/5

Explanation:

Step1: Solve \( n - 13 = -12 \)

Add 13 to both sides: \( n = -12 + 13 \)
\( n = 1 \)

Step2: Solve \( -5n = 1 \)

Divide both sides by -5: \( n = \frac{1}{-5} \)
\( n = -\frac{1}{5} \)

Step3: Solve \( n + 15 = -10 \)

Subtract 15 from both sides: \( n = -10 - 15 \)
\( n = -25 \)

Step4: Solve \( \frac{n}{5} = -\frac{1}{5} \)

Multiply both sides by 5: \( n = -\frac{1}{5} \times 5 \)
\( n = -1 \)

Answer:

• \( n - 13 = -12 \) → \( n = 1 \)
• \( -5n = 1 \) → \( n = -\frac{1}{5} \)
• \( n + 15 = -10 \) → \( n = -25 \)
• \( \frac{n}{5} = -\frac{1}{5} \) → \( n = -1 \)
