Answer 1

I’m guessing you want to find out (n).
That’s what I did anyway.

The answer is: n=5

Step 1: Subtract 5n from both sides.
3.2
n
+
9
−
5
n
=
5
n
−
5
n
−
1.8
n
+
9
=
0
Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides.
−
1.8
n
+
9
−
9
=
0
−
9
−
1.8
n
=
−
9
Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.8.
−
1.8
n
−
1.8
=

1.8
n
=
