This is weird. Let's think for a minute ... how can half of something be as big as ten of it ?

Well, let's go through the algebra anyway:

n/2 = 10n

Multiply each side by 2:

n = 10n

Subtract n from each side:

0 = 9n

Divide each side by 9:

0 = n

=============================

Maybe the question meant: 2/n = 10n

In that case, 2 = 10n2, 5n2 = 1, n = sqrt(0.2) = 0.4472 (rounded)
