Sagot :

Answer:

The correct solution is "n = 16".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

⇒  [tex]\frac{1}{2} n-3=5[/tex]

On adding "3" both sides, we get

⇒  [tex]\frac{1}{2} n-3+3=5+3[/tex]

⇒  [tex]\frac{1}{2}n=8[/tex]

On applying cross multiplication, we get

⇒  [tex]n=8\times 2[/tex]

⇒  [tex]n=16[/tex]
