Question

What is the value of n in this equation 1/2(n-4)-3=3-(2n+3)?

Answer 1

n = 2

Explanation:

Given

`(1)/(2)`(n - 4) - 3 = 3 - (2n + 3)

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

n - 4 - 6 = 6 - 2(2n + 3) ← distribute

n - 10 = 6 - 4n - 6 ( add 4n to both sides )

5n - 10 = 0 ( add 10 to both sides )

5n = 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

n = 2
