Question

What is the first step to solve for n in the following equation? 3n - 7 = 30

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying

3n + 7 = 30

Reorder the terms:

7 + 3n = 30

Solving

7 + 3n = 30

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.

7 + -7 + 3n = 30 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0

0 + 3n = 30 + -7

3n = 30 + -7

Combine like terms: 30 + -7 = 23

3n = 23

Divide each side by '3'.

n = 7.666666667

Simplifying

n = 7.666666667
