Question

24=3(n-5) solve for n

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

24 = 3 (n-5)

3n  - 15 = 24

3n = 24 +15

3n = 39

n = 39/3

n = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf n=13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 24=3(n-5)$

$\sf Expand \ brackets.$

$\sf 24=3n-15$

$\sf Add \ 15 \ to \ both \ sides.$

$\sf 24+15=3n-15+15$

$\sf 39=3n$

$\sf Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 3.$

$\sf \frac{39}{3} =\frac{3n}{3}$

$\sf 13=n$
