Use the Division Property of Equality to eliminate the multiplication.
n=24
We are given the following equation.
5n=120
To solve the equation, we have to isolate n on one side. Using the Division Property of Equality, we will divide both sides of the equation by 5. This will eliminate the coefficient on the left-hand side of the equation and isolate n. Let's do it!
.LHS /5.=.RHS /5.
