Question

3(n – 1) = 6
How do I solve this equation?

Answer 1

n = 3

Explanation:

3(n−1)=6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(n−1)=6

(3)(n)+(3)(−1)=6(Distribute)

3n+−3=6

3n−3=6

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides.

3n−3+3=6+3

3n=9

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3n/3 = 9/3\

n= 3

Answer 2

n=3

Explanation:

distribute, then add 3 to both sides, then divide both sides by 3
