5/(n-1)=6

\frac{5}{n - 1} = 6

n = \frac{11}{6}

Decimal Notation

n = 1.83333 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{5}{n - 1} = 6

Multiply both sides by

n - 1

5 = 6 (n - 1)

Switch sides

6 (n - 1) = 5

Divide both sides by

6

n - 1 = \frac{5}{6}

Move

1

to the right side

n = \frac{11}{6}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

n = 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

n = \frac{11}{6}

2 x - \frac{1}{x ^{2}} = 0

4 x^{- 2} - 7 x^{- 1} - 2 = 0

\frac{3 x - 6}{x - 3} = 0

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{18}{x}

\frac{x}{x - 9} + 9 = \frac{9}{x - 9}
