Please solve the equation:

\[ 5n + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{2} \]

(Five n plus one-eighth equals one-half)

5 n ( 8 + 8 1 ​ = 2 1 ​ ( 4 40 n + 1 = 4 40 n = 4 − 1 40 n = 3 n = 40 3 ​ ​

5 n + 8 1 ​ = 2 1 ​ 5 n = 8 4 ​ − 8 1 ​ 5 n = 8 3 ​ ∣ : 5 = 8 3 ​ ⋅ 5 1 ​ = 40 3 ​ A n s w er i s 40 3 ​ .

To solve 8 5 n + 1 ​ = 2 1 ​ , multiply both sides by 8, leading to 5 n + 1 = 4 . After isolating n , we find n = 5 3 ​ .
