Question

I need to know the answer to 5n-2=3n+40

Answer 1

Hey there!

• $5n -2$ $= 3n +40$
• Firstly, let's $subtract$ by the number $3n$  on both of your sides
• $5n -2-3n$ $= 3n + 40 - 3n$
• We get: $= 2n - 2 = 40$
• Nextly, let's $add$ by the number $2$ on each of your sides
• $2n - 2+2$ $= 40 +2$
• $40 +2$ $=42$
• We get: $2n$ $=42$
• Thirdly, $divide$   by $2$ on each of your side
• $\frac{2n}{2}$ $=$ $\frac{42}2}$
• Cancel: $\frac{2n}{2}$
• Keep: $\frac{42}{2}$ because it gives you your overall answer
• $\boxed{Answer: n = 21}$

Good luck on  your assignment and enjoy your day!
