Question

Solve 14+3n=5n−6 . Check your solution.

Answer 1

n = 10

Explanation:

`14 + 3n = 5n - 6 \\ 14 + 6 = 5n - 3n \\ 20 = 2n \\ n = (20)/(2) \\ n = 10`

Answer 2

10 is the solution

Explanation:

14+3n=5n−6

Subtract 3n from each side

14+3n-3n=5n-3n−6

14 = 2n-6

Add 6 to each side

14+6 = 2n-6+6

20 = 2n

Divide each side by 2

20/2 =2n/2

10 =n

Check

14+3*10 = 5*10-6

14+30 = 50-6

44 = 44

10 is the solution
