please answer, its due today and show the work please :)
1.6(1 + 0.5n) - 3, 2 = 1.1(n - 6.8)

Answer 1

n = 19.6

Explanation:

Given the expression;

1.6(1 + 0.5n) - 3.2 = 1.1(n - 6.8)

Open the bracket

1.6 + 0.8n - 3.2 = 1.1n - 7.48

Collect the like terms

0.8n - 1.1n = -7.48 + 3.2 - 1.6

-0.3n = -5.88

n = -5.88/-0.3

n = 19.6

Hence the value of n is 19.6
