Answer:
To solve for n you need to get it by itself
First you want to distribute your 2 through the (3n+14)
-2n+6n+28=-20 (2*3n+2*14= 6n+28)
Now you want to combine any like terms if possible
4n+28=-20 (-2n+6n=4n, both like terms)
Then you want to subtract -28 from both sides
4n=-48 (28-28=0, -20-28=-48)
Lastly you want to divide both sides by 4
n=-12 (4n/4=n, -48/4= -12)
Answer:
the substitution method is one way to solve linear equation. the substitution method is when substitute the one y value with the other:
example :
x+y=10
y=10-x ( value of y)
2x+y=12 ( substitute the value of y in the equation )
2x+(10-x)=12
2x+10-x=12 ( now solve for x)
x=12-10
x=2 ( substitute the value of x in the equation x+y=10)
x+y=10
2+y=10
y=10-2
y=8
