Answer:

n = -3

Explanation:

5 + 0.5(6n + 14) = 3 ---> distribute the 0.5

5 + (3n + 7) = 3 ----> add 5 and 7

12 + 3n = 3 ---> minus 12 from both sides

3n = -9 --> divide by 3 on each side

n = -3

The value of n which satisfys the equation is ~


  • \boxed{n = - 3}


\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Explanation}}

Let's solve the equation to evaluate the value of n ~


  • 5 + 0.5(6n + 14) = 3


  • 5 + 3n + 7 = 3


  • 3n + 12 = 3


  • 3n = 3 - 12


  • 3n = - 9


  • n = - 9 / 3


  • n = - 3

hence, the required value of n is :


  • \boxed{ - 3}
