## 28Tylerr 3 years ago Standardized Test Practice: Nine less than half n is equal to one plus the product -1/8th and n. Find the value of n. A. 24. Show work Please (:! Can somebody help because I have no idea how to do this!

I can not figure this out.

n-9=1+(-1/8n) ?? I know you are supposed to take the information and turn it into one equation so you can solve it but i got a little confused at the end.

ok so from the information we have, $$\large 9$$ less than $$\large \frac{1}{2}n$$ is the same as reducing $$\large \frac{1}{2}n$$ by $$\ 9$$ which is the same as $$\ large \frac{1}{2}n - 9$$. now we're told that this is equal to $$\large 1$$ plus the product of $$\large \frac{1}{8}$$ and $$\large n$$. product of that means $$\large \frac{1}{8} \times n$$ which is the same as $$\large \frac{n}{8}$$ . so back to the question, $$\ large \frac{n}{2} - 9$$ is equal to $$\large 1 + \frac{n}{8}$$ $$\large \frac{n}{2} - 9$$=$$\large 1 + \frac{n}{8}$$ can you solve this equation on your own?
