Question

Solve 12n+7p - 6n = 25p for n.

Answer 1

n = 3p

Explanation:

12n + 7p - 6n = 25p; solve for n

First we will add like terms in the left side

12n - 6n + 7p = 25p

6n + 7p = 25p

Subtract 7p to both sides

6n + 7p - 7p = 25p - 7p

6n = 18p

Now divide 6 from both sides

6n/6 = 18p/6

n = 3p
