After having done this on paper:

We want to isolate the variable, and the first step is to subtract the 8.

Since the <em>n</em> is being multiplied by 3, and that = 8, we can multiply both sides by 3.
<em>n</em> = 24
Let me know if this helped you understand better.
Also, you can check this by substituting in 24 for <em>n</em>.

Answer:
Sam: $30; Bethan: $24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio is 5:4 Sam has to pay 5/9 of the total which is 54. To find how much he pays set up the equation like this.

Cross Multiply
54(5)=9x
270=9x
Divide by 9
30=x
So Sam pays $30. To find out how much Bethan pays simply subtract 30 from 54
54-30=24
So Bethan pays $24
