Algebra

For some reason, I keep thinking this:

1.5*n = w
(1.2*(n+1.5)) = w

solve for n.

I don't know why.

  1. forgot to add:

    (1.2*(n+1.5)) = w
    n+1.5 = w/1.2
    n = (w/1.2)-1.5

    substitute w with 1.5n
    1.2n = 1.5n - 1.8
    1.2n-1.5n = -1.8

    use distributive property
    n(1.2-1.5) = -1.8
    n = -1.8/(-0.3)
    n = 6
