Question

3(n+11)-5n=-2(n-12)+9

Answer 1

Simplifying
3(n + 11) + -5n = -2(n + -12) + 9
Reorder the terms:
3(11 + n) + -5n = -2(n + -12) + 9
(11 * 3 + n * 3) + -5n = -2(n + -12) + 9
(33 + 3n) + -5n = -2(n + -12) + 9
Combine like terms: 3n + -5n = -2n
33 + -2n = -2(n + -12) + 9
Reorder the terms:
33 + -2n = -2(-12 + n) + 9
33 + -2n = (-12 * -2 + n * -2) + 9
33 + -2n = (24 + -2n) + 9
Reorder the terms:
33 + -2n = 24 + 9 + -2n
Combine like terms: 24 + 9 = 33
33 + -2n = 33 + -2n
Add '-33' to each side of the equation.
33 + -33 + -2n = 33 + -33 + -2nCombine like terms: 33 + -33 = 0
0 + -2n = 33 + -33 + -2n
-2n = 33 + -33 + -2n
Combine like terms: 33 + -33 = 0
-2n = 0 + -2n
-2n = -2n
Add '2n' to each side of the equation.
-2n + 2n = -2n + 2n
Combine like terms: -2n + 2n = 0
0 = -2n + 2n
Combine like terms: -2n + 2n = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
