Question

Algebra - Solving Equations with the Variable on Each Side:
14 + 5 n = - 4 n + 17​

Answer 1

`n = 1/3`

Explanation:

`14 + 5n = -4n + 17`

add -4n to both sides

`14 + 9n = 17`

to isolate 9n, subtract 14 from both sides

`9n = 3`

divide both sides by 9

`n = 1/3`

Answer 2

n =
`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

14 + 5n = - 4n + 17 ( add 4n to both sides )

14 + 9n = 17 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

9n = 3 ( divide both sides by 9 )

n =
`(3)/(9)` =
`(1)/(3)`
