Answer:

What does n equal?

Explanation:

A question we can represents the following equation is:

"What does n equal?"

Since, n is a variable we don't know what it is before solving it.

Thus, a question we can ask is " what does n equal?"

Solve equation if needed:

22 - n = 15

Subtract 22 from both sides

-n+22-22=15-22

-n = -7

Divide both sides by the same factor

-n/-1 = -7/-1

n = 7

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

John had 22 books. He gave away a number of books, but he forgot the number of books he gave away. Now he has 15 books. Let n be the number of books he gave away. Write and solve an equation an equation to find the number of books John gave away.

22 - n = 15

Subtract 22 from both sides.

-n = -7

Multiply both sides by -1.

n = 7

Answer: John gave away 7 books.
