Hello there.

Question: Jayden wants to solve the equation n + 67 = 81. He writes the equation n + 67 - 67 = 81 - 67 to find the value of n. Will Jayden get the correct answer using this equation?

Answer: n + 67 - 67.
In this part of the equation the 67 would cancel out.
Which leaves n = 81 - 67.
This would get the correct answer to the equation.
Solving the equation meant that he would have to subtract 67 from both sides.
Which he has done.
Solving the equation:
81 - 67 = 14
n = 14.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^
