Problema Solution
If n/n-3=27/24, then what is the value of n?
Answer provided by our tutors
first lets notice that the domain for n is R\{3} since n-3<>0 that is n<>3
n/(n - 3) = 27/24 multiply both sides by 24(n-3) (since LCM(24, (n-3)) = 24(n-3))
24n = 27(n - 3)
24n = 27n - 51
27n - 24n = 51
3n = 51
n = 17 and 17<>3
the value of n is 17.
