Solve 180(n-2)/n=740

$$\frac { 180 ( n - 2 ) } { n } = 740$$

Solve for n

$$n=-\frac{9}{14}\approx -0.642857143$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by n.

$$180\left(n-2\right)=740n$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 180 by n-2.

$$180n-360=740n$$

Subtract 740n from both sides.

$$180n-360-740n=0$$

Combine 180n and -740n to get -560n.

$$-560n-360=0$$

Add 360 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-560n=360$$

Divide both sides by -560.

$$n=\frac{360}{-560}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{360}{-560} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 40.

$$n=-\frac{9}{14}$$
