Simplify 2n - 7+3(4n-3) A.14n-16 B. -14n+12 C.-14n-13 D.14n-10

Answer 1

Simplifying 2n + -7 + 3(4n + -3) = 0 Reorder the terms: 2n + -7 + 3(-3 + 4n) = 0 2n + -7 + (-3 * 3 + 4n * 3) = 0 2n + -7 + (-9 + 12n) = 0 Reorder the terms: -7 + -9 + 2n + 12n = 0 Combine like terms: -7 + -9 = -16 -16 + 2n + 12n = 0 Combine like terms: 2n + 12n = 14n -16 + 14n = 0 Solving -16 + 14n = 0 Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '16' to each side of the equation. -16 + 16 + 14n = 0 + 16 Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0 0 + 14n = 0 + 16 14n = 0 + 16 Combine like terms: 0 + 16 = 16 14n = 16 Divide each side by '14'. n = 1.142857143 Simplifying n = 1.142857143
