Question

solve this problem 5x7xn=385 what does the n stand for?

Answer 1

5 x 7 x n=385
35n=385
n=11

Answer 2

Hi,

N is an unknown that you need to find out what its value is.

So multiplying 5, 7 and a number equals 385. To solve this problem, you just need to find out what the mystery number is.

To solve the problem you do the opposite of what is asked.

Step 1

5x7xn=385 (divide 5 on both sides)

You get 1x7xn=77

Step 2

1x7xn=77 (divide by 7 on both sides)

You get 1x1xn=11

***ANSWER*** So n=11

Step 3 (check your answer)

5x7x11=385

Answer 3

you are solving for n.

So divide 385 by 5, and then that answer by 7 to solve for n.

Answer 4

5 * 7 times a number

the n is a variable

for a number

so divide 385 by 7
which is 55 so far you should have 5*n=55
then divide by 5
which gives you 11
so n=11

Answer 5

n=11

Answer 6

* The "n" represents an unknown number/value that we need to find.

First: multiply "like" terms > 5*7

35n = 385

Sec: solve for "n" by keeping it on one side > divide both sides by 35 >

35n/35 = 385/35
n = 11

Answer 7

I'm going to assume that the 'x' means times... you should really use a *... n is 11 if that is the case. if 'x' is a variable, then 385/35x^2 or (eleven over 'x' squared)

Answer 8

11

or in other words:

5*7*n=385

35*n=385

n=385/35

n=11

Answer 9

The 'n' is a variable. It means there is some value that can be assigned to 'n' that will make that equation true. Your problem is finding out what that value is.

Answer 10

if i see you right:
35n=385
divide each side by 36
n=11
