n =

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

9n - 7 = 3 + 8n - 2

Combine like factors.

9n - 7 = 8n + 1

Subtract 8n from both sides

n - 7 = 1

Add 7 to both sides.

n = 8

Answer 2

`\boxed{n = 8}`

Explanation:

`= > 9n - 7 = 3 + 8n - 2 \\ \\ = > 9n - 7 = 8n + 3 - 2 \\ \\ = > 9n - 8n = 1 + 7 \\ \\ = > n = 8`
