Question

3(n+1)=5.4 Solve for n

Answer 1

The value of n is 0.8 .

Explanation:

First, you have to expand to get rid of brackets :

`3(n + 1) = 5.4`

`3n + 3 = 5.4`

Next, you have to subtract 3 on both sides to remove 3 at the left side :

`3n + 3 - 3 = 5.4 - 3`

`3n = 2.4`

Lastly, you have to divide 3 on both sides :

`3n / 3 = 2.4 / 3`

`n = 0.8`

Answer 2

n =0.8

Explanation:

`3(n+1)=5.4`

Expand ; 3(n+1)

`3(n+1) =3n +3\\\\3n+3 =5.4`

Collect like terms and simplify

`3n =5.4-3\\3n=2.4`

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

`(3n)/(3) = (2.4)/(3) \\\\n = 0.8`
