If x y = 4 and 24 x n y = 4 , what is the value of n ?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 24 . The equation 24 x n y = 4 can be rewritten as 24 n x y = 4 . It's given that x y = 4 . Substituting 4 for x y in the equation 24 n x y = 4 yields 24 n 4 = 4 . Multiplying both sides of this equation by n yields 24 4 = 4 n . Dividing both sides of this equation by 4 yields 24 = n . Therefore, the value of n is 24 .
