Answer:

3 nights

Explanation:

let n equal the number of nights

6 = 2n ---> 6 cm = 2 cm x the number of nights

6/2 = 2n/2 ---> divide both sides of the equation to isolate n

3 = n ---> number of nights equals 3

6 is the number of centimeters needed divided by 2 the number of centimeters per night which would give you the number of nights.
