Question

3n + 2 = 8 find answer for n

Answer 1

n = 2 or.... n is 2

Explanation:

When simplifying to find n, we do something to one side, but it also must be done to the other side. First, to get n alone, we would subtract 2. When doing this, we do it for both sides:

3n + 2 = 8

-2 -2

3n = 6

Now, we divide n by 3 becuase right now it says 3 times n. We again do the same for both sides:

3n = 6

/3 /3

n = 2

So the answer is n = 2

n is 2.

Answer 2

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{n=2}}`

Explanation:

To solve for n, isolate it on one side of the equation.

3n+2=8

First, you have to subtract by 2 from both sides.

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{3n+2-2=8-2}`

Solve.

Subtract the numbers from left to right.

`\sf{8-2=6}`

Rewrite the problem.

⇒ 3n=6

Divide by 3 from both sides.

→ 3n/3=6/3

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

→ 6/3=2

`\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{n=2}}`

• Therefore, the correct answer is n=2.
