Answer

$n=1.68$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of equality, the solution to the given equation, $ 6.4-2.5n=2.2 $, is \begin{array}{l} -2.5n=2.2-6.4 \\\\ -2.5n=-4.2 \\\\ n=\dfrac{-4.2}{-2.5} \\\\ n=1.68 .\end{array} Checking: \begin{array}{l} 6.4-2.5(1.68)=2.2 \\\\ 6.4-4.2=2.2 2.2=2.2 \text{ (TRUE)} .\end{array} Hence, the solution is $ n=1.68 .$
