Question

4 What is the value of n in the equation
3n - 8 = 32 –n

Answer 1

`3n - 8 = 32 - n \\ 3n + n = 32 + 8 \\ 4n = 40 \\ n = (40)/(4) \\ \boxed{n = 10}`

• The value of the 'n' is 10 in the equation.

Answer 2

n = 10

Explanation:

3n - 8 = 32 - n ( add n to both sides )

4n - 8 = 32 ( add 8 to both sides )

4n = 40 ( divide both sides by 4 )

n = 10
