2n - 1&1/2n = 59

[math_celebrity]

2n - 1&1/2n = 59

1&1/2n = 3/2n or 1.5n

So we have:
2n - 1.5n = 59

Solve for n in the equation 2n - 1.5n = 59

Step 1: Group the n terms on the left hand side:
(2 - 1.5)n = 0.5n

Step 2: Form modified equation
0.5n = + 59

Step 3: Divide each side of the equation by 0.5
0.5n/0.5 = 59/0.5

n = 118
