Solve 6/14=5/n

$$\frac { 6 } { 14 } = \frac { 5 } { n }$$

Solve for n

$$n = \frac{35}{3} = 11\frac{2}{3} \approx 11.666666667$$

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 14n, the least common multiple of 14,n.

$$n\times 6=14\times 5$$

Multiply 14 and 5 to get 70.

$$n\times 6=70$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$n=\frac{70}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{70}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$n=\frac{35}{3}$$
