Question

If 3(n+8)=36 what is the value of n

Answer 1

Thus, n = 4 is the solution.

Explanation:

1. perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining 3n + 24 = 36

2. Subtract 24 from both sides: 3n = 12

3. Solve this result for n: n = 12/3. Thus, n = 4 is the solution.

Answer 2

4 is the value of n

Explanation:

First you want to get the n by itself, which means dividing the 3...

36 / 3 = 12 -- So your equation looks like this n+8=12, subtract the 8 to get 4

12-8 = 4, once you plug the 4 back into the normal equation you get 36

3(4+8)=36
