Answer:

n=60

Explanation:

n/10 + 8 = 14

Subtract 8 from each side

n/10 +8-8 = 14-8

n/10 = 6

Multiply each side by 10

n/10 * 10 = 6*10

n = 60

Hi!

Given:


\cfrac{n}{10} +8=14

We want to isolate the variable (n) on one side of the equation. To do so, we must get rid of all the other numbers on the same side as the variable.


\cfrac{n}{10} +8=14

First, we subtract 8 from both sides:


\cfrac{n}{10} +8-8=14-8

That equals:


\cfrac{n}{10} =6

Look, the 8 is completely gone from the equation, We're getting closer!

Now, we have to multiply both sides of the equation by 10:


\cfrac{n}{10} *10=6*10

That equals:


n=60

And see! We solved for the variable.

n is equal to 60.
