Question

3n + 8 = 53
I don’t understand how to find the n

Answer 1

n = 15

Explanation:

3n + 8 = 53

the first step we are going to do is combine the like terms by moving the constant (8) to the right and subtracting

3n = 45

next step, we are going to isolate the n by dividing by 3 on both sides of the equation

3n divided by 3 is just n and 45 divided by 3 is 15, so we have our answer

Answer 2

n=15

Explanation:

subtract 8 from both sides to get 3n=45

divide both sides by 3 to solve for n to get n=15
