Question

I need help please
`58n - 8 = 80`
`5(6n + 2) = - 38 + 6n`

Answer 1

`58n - 8 = 80`

`5(6n + 2) = - 38 + 6n`

Part 1

we have

58n - 8 = 80

solve for n

adds 8 both sides

58n=80+8

58n=88

Divide by 58 both sides

n=88/58

simplify

n=44/29

Part 2

we have

5(6n + 2) = - 38 + 6n

solve for n

Apply distributive property left side

30n+10=-38+6n

Group terms

30n-6n=-38-10

24n=-48

Divide by 24 both sides

n=-48/24

n=-2
