To solve this, we can begin by rewriting the equation:
9n - 50 = 4
Let’s eliminate 50 on both sides of the equation to make this simpler:
9n - 50 + 50 = 4 + 50
9n = 54
Now, let’s divide both sides by the coefficient (9):
9n ÷ 9 = n
54 ÷ 9 = 6
n = 6
Let’s verify our answer by plugging 6 in for the variable:
9(6) - 50 = 4
54 - 50 = 4
Because this equation is true, we have our answer.
Hence, n = 6.
