Solve for n.2n − 35=5 Enter your answer in the box.n =

Answer 1

The equestion is, solve for n

`(2n-3)/(5)=5`

Step 1: Cross multiply the equation above to have

`\begin{gathered} (2n-3)/(5)=(5)/(1) \\ 1(2n-3)=5*5 \\ 2n-3=25 \end{gathered}`

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides

`\begin{gathered} 2n-3=25 \\ 2n-3+3=25+3 \\ 2n=28 \end{gathered}`

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2

`\begin{gathered} 2n=28 \\ (2n)/(2)=(28)/(2) \\ n=14 \end{gathered}`

Hence,

The value of n = 14
