Question

2-2N=3N+17

help plz thank you ​

Answer 1

N= -3

Explanation:

First, bring 3N on to the left side by subtracting 3N with 2N

2-2N-3N=17

Then, move 2 to the right side by subtracting 17 and 2: -2N-3N= 17-2

Solving the like terms gives us -5N= 15

N= 15/-5

N= -3

Answer 2

-3 = N

Explanation:

2-2N=3N+17

Add 2N to each side

2-2N+2N=3N+2N+17

2 = 5N +17

Subtract 17 from each side

2-17 = 5N+17-17

-15 = 5N

Divide each side by 5

-15/5 = 5N/5

-3 = N
