Question

24=3(n-5) solve for n

Answer 1

`\boxed{\sf n=13}`

Explanation:

`\sf 24=3(n-5)`

`\sf Expand \ brackets.`

`\sf 24=3n-15`

`\sf Add \ 15 \ to \ both \ sides.`

`\sf 24+15=3n-15+15`

`\sf 39=3n`

`\sf Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 3.`

`\sf (39)/(3) =(3n)/(3)`

`\sf 13=n`

Answer 2

n = 13

Explanation:

24 = 3 (n-5)

3n - 15 = 24

3n = 24 +15

3n = 39

n = 39/3

n = 13
