N times 5 is equal to 24

word in equation and solve for variable

Step-by-step explanation: Remember that "times" mean multiply.

So reading the problem from left to right, we have n times 5,

that's n multiplied by 5 or 5n, is means equals, 24.

So we have 5n = 24.

We want to solve our equation for n so we want to get

n by itself on the left side of the equation.

Since n is being multiplied by 5, we need to divide both sides

of the equation by 5 and we have n = 24/5.

Don't be nervous to check your answer back in

the original equation even if it is a fraction.
