Question

. If 3n + 8 = 44, what is the value of n?​

Answer 1

3n + 8 = 44

Subtract both sides by 8.

3n = 36

Divide both sides by 3.

n = 12.

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{3n + 8 = 44}`

`\large\textsf{SUBTRACT 8 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathsf{3n + 8 - 8 = 44 - 8}`

`\large\textsf{CANCEL out, 8 - 8 because that gives you 0}`

`\large\textsf{KEEP: 44 - 8 because it helps solve for n}`

`\mathsf{44 - 8 = \bf 36}`

`\large\textsf{New EQUATION: 3n = 36}`

`\large\textsf{DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathsf{(3n)/(3)=(36)/(3)}`

`\large\textsf{CANCEL out: } \mathsf{(3)/(3)}\large\textsf{ because that gives you 1}`

`\large\textsf{KEEP: }\mathsf{(36)/(3)}\large\textsf{ because it solves for n}`

`\large\textsf{New EQUATION: }\mathsf{n = (36)/(3)}`

`\mathsf{(36)/(3)=n}`

`\large\textsf{Simplify above \& you will have the answer to your given question.}`

`\mathsf{n =\bf 12}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge\bf n = 12}}}\huge\checkmark`
