How does a ratio make a comparison?

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

6 = 1 + -2n + 5

Reorder the terms:

6 = 1 + 5 + -2n

Combine like terms: 1 + 5 = 6

6 = 6 + -2n

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 = 6 + -6 + -2n

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 = 6 + -6 + -2n

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 = 0 + -2n

0 = -2n

Solving

0 = -2n

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2n' to each side of the equation.

0 + 2n = -2n + 2n

Remove the zero:

2n = -2n + 2n

Combine like terms: -2n + 2n = 0

2n = 0

Divide each side by '2'.

n = 0

Simplifying

n = 0
