To find the corresponding n value for the expression when the expression is equal to 33, we just need to solve the following equation


3(n+7)=33

First, let's divide both sides by 3


\begin{gathered} (3(n+7))/(3)=(33)/(3) \\ n+7=11 \end{gathered}

Then, let's subtract 7 from both sides


\begin{gathered} n+7-7=11-7 \\ n=4 \end{gathered}

The corresponding value for n is 4.
