Step 1
An expression is a number, a variable, or a combination of numbers and variables and operation symbols. An equation is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.
Hence, the term 2n5n6=710 is an equation.
Step 2
On taking the LCM(Least common multiple) of denominator and on solving further, we get the result as
2n5n6=710
(2n)(6)(n)(5)30=710
12n5n30=710
7n30=710
n=(710)(307)
n=-3
Hence, value of n from the equation 2n5n6=710 is -3.
