Question

Please solve this question 3(n+4)=5n?

Answer 1

n=6

Explanation:

Using the distributive property, we distribute 3 to n and 4. In case if you don't know what that means, it means we multiply 3 to the variables inside the parentheses. So we get (3×n)+(3×4)=5n, and we simplify it so we get 3n+12=5n. Now, we can subtract 3n from both sides and get 12=2n, and divide 2 from both sides and get n=6.

Answer 2

6=n

Explanation:

Hi there!

We are given this equation:

3(n+4)=5n

And we need to solve it for n

To do that, we need to isolate n on one side

But we need to open up the parentheses on the left side by doing the distributive property

Multiply both n and 4 by 3

3n+12=5n

Now subtract 3n from both sides to remove it from the left side

12=2n

Divide both sides by 2 to change the coefficient on n from 2 to 1

6=n

n is now isolated on one side

Hope this helps!
