Solve n/n+1=0.96

$$\frac { n } { n + 1 } = 0.96$$

Solve for n

$$n=24$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable n cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by n+1.

$$n=0.96\left(n+1\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.96 by n+1.

$$n=0.96n+0.96$$

Subtract 0.96n from both sides.

$$n-0.96n=0.96$$

Combine n and -0.96n to get 0.04n.

$$0.04n=0.96$$

Divide both sides by 0.04.

$$n=\frac{0.96}{0.04}$$

Expand \frac{0.96}{0.04} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$n=\frac{96}{4}$$

Divide 96 by 4 to get 24.

$$n=24$$
