Solve 2n-2=15/8

$$2 n - 2 = \frac { 15 } { 8 }$$

Solve for n

$$n = \frac{31}{16} = 1\frac{15}{16} = 1.9375$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 2 to both sides.

$$2n=\frac{15}{8}+2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{16}{8}.

$$2n=\frac{15}{8}+\frac{16}{8}$$

Since \frac{15}{8} and \frac{16}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$2n=\frac{15+16}{8}$$

Add 15 and 16 to get 31.

$$2n=\frac{31}{8}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$n=\frac{\frac{31}{8}}{2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{31}{8}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$n=\frac{31}{8\times 2}$$

Multiply 8 and 2 to get 16.

$$n=\frac{31}{16}$$
