Answer:

n = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/2)n - 7 = 1 5/10 is the algebraic representation of that statement.

This is equivalent to n/2 - 7 = 1 5/10.  The LCD is 10; we mult. all 3 terms by 10 to clear out the fractions:

5n - 70 = 15.

Adding 70 to both sides, we get 5n = 85.

Dividing both sides of this result by 5, we get n = 17.

Next time, would you please share the answer choices.  Thank y ou.
