    enable n = the range So the equation is: (a million/4)n + (a million/2)n = 15 you opt for to team each and every of the n's jointly. so that you upload (a million/4) and (a million/2) a million/4 + a million/2 locate the bottom immediately ahead denominator (4) a million/4 + 2/4 =3/4 So, 3/4n = 15 Divide both aspect through (3/4) to get n through itself. n=20 So your variety is 20. once you've the want to verify that's ideal, positioned this variety into your unique equation. actually you could only attempt this one in you hear. 1 / 4 of 20 is 5. A 0.5 of 20 is 10. 5 plus 10 is 15!
