Solution Steps
To solve the given rational equation, we need to isolate the variable \( n \). Start by eliminating the fractions by finding a common denominator, which in this case is 30. Multiply every term by 30 to clear the fractions. Then, solve the resulting linear equation for \( n \).
Step 1: Clear the Fractions
We start with the equation:
\[
\frac{1}{5} n - \frac{11}{6} = \frac{2}{3}
\]
To eliminate the fractions, we multiply every term by the least common multiple of the denominators, which is 30:
