Question

9n-6=5n+18 What is n equal to

Answer 1

Answer: n = 6

Work Shown

9n-6 = 5n+18

9n-5n = 18+6

4n = 24

n = 24/4

n = 6

Check

9n-6 = 5n+18

9*6-6 = 5*6+18

54-6 = 30+18

48 = 48

We get the same thing on both sides, so the answer is confirmed.

Answer 2

n = 6

Explanation:

`\sf 9n-6=5n+18`

Subtract 5n from both sides:

`\sf & 9n-6 - 5n = 5n+18 - 5n\\&4n-6 = 18`

Add 6 to both sides:

`&\sf 4n-6 + 6 = 18 + 6\\&\sf 4n = 24`

Divide both sides by 4:

`&\sf (4n)/(4 )=( 24)/(4)\\\\&\sf n = 6`

Therefore, n is equal to 6.
