Question

What value of n makes this equation true? n-2.3=17

Answer 1

n-2.3=17

The first step is to "isolate" your variable (n). To isolate your variable means to make it so that there is just n on one side of the equal sign.

To do that, you must use inverse operations and add 2.3 to each side of the equation:

n-2.3=17

+2.3     +2.3

n=17+2.3

The next step is to just simplify:

n=17+2.3

n=19.3

Hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

Hey there!

n-2.3= 17

Add 2.3 to both sides. (always do the inverse)

n=19.3

I hope this helps!
