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

Question 1

Question 2

Answer:

3n + 8 = 44

Subtract both sides by 8.

3n = 36

Divide both sides by 3.

n = 12.

Question 3

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

$\mathsf{n =\bf 12}$

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

$\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
