Question

Solve for n.

11(n – 1) + 35 = 3n

n = –6
n = –3
n = 3
n = 6

Answer 1

Answer: n=-3

Explanation:

11n-11+35=3n

24=-8n

n=-3

Answer 2

-3 =n

Explanation:

11(n – 1) + 35 = 3n

Distribute

11n -11 +35 = 3n

Combine like terms

11n +24 = 3n

Subtract 11n from each side

11n +24 -11n = 3n -11n

24 = -8n

Divide each side by -8

24/-8 = -8n/-8

-3 =n
