Question

Solve each equation using trial and error method

$\frac{n}{4}=2$

Answer 1

Solving equation using trial and error method

As we know $\frac{4}{4}=1$ and we need $2$ here so $n$should be greater than $4$

$n$	$LHS$	$RHS$
$5$	$\frac{n}{4}=\frac{5}{4}=1.25$	$2$	$LHS\ne RHS$
$6$	$\frac{n}{4}=\frac{6}{4}=1.5$	$2$	$LHS\ne RHS$
$7$	$\frac{n}{4}=\frac{7}{4}=1.75$	$2$	$LHS\ne RHS$
$8$	$\frac{n}{4}=\frac{8}{4}=2$	$2$	$LHS=RHS$

From the table, we find that $LHS=RHS$ when $n=8$

Hence, the solution of given equation is $n=8$
