The product of -1.8 and = -1.8 x ?

3 more than a number = 3 + n

The product of -1.8 and 3 more than a number = -1.8(3 + n)

Is the same as 1/10 = equals (equal sign) 1/10

Full Equation: -1.8(3 + n) = 1/10

Steps to solve:

1. Divide both sides by -1.8 (or - 9/5)

(3 + n) = 1/10 x -5/9

3 + n = -5/90

2. Subtract 3 from both sides

n = -5/90 - 270/90

n = -30 5/9

Hope this helps!
