Question

Solve for n.

11(n – 1) + 35 = 3n

n = –6
n = –3
n = 3
n = 6

Answer 1

Solve for n
Simply both sides 11(n-1)+35=3n
Distribute (11)(n) + (11)(-1) + 35 = 3n
11n+-11+35=3n
Combine like terms (11n)+(-11+35)=3n
11n + 24 =3n
Subtract 3n from both sides
11n+24-3n=3n-3n
8n + 24 = 0
Subtract 24 from both sides
8n+24-24=0-24
8n = -24
Divide both sides by 8
8n = -24
8 8
n = -3
