Question

11(n – 1) + 35 = 3n find n

Answer 1

n = -6

Explanation:

`11(n -1) + 35 = 3n\\n =? \\11n -11 +35=3n\\Collect-like-terms\\11n-3n=-35+11\\4n =-24\\divide -both-sides-of-the-equation\\n = (-24)/(4) \\n = -6\\\\`

Answer 2

n=-3

Explanation:

11(n – 1) + 35 = 3n

expand left side

11n-11+35=3n

Add-11 to 35

11n+35-11=3n

11n+24=3n

subtract 24 from both sides

11n+24-24=3n-24

11n=3n-24

subtract3n from both sides

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

8n=-24

divide both sides by 8

8n/8=-24/8

n=-3
