Question

What is the value of n?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    n-2-(10*n+42)=0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  -9n - 44  =   -1 • (9n + 44)  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.1      Solve  :    -9n-44 = 0  

Add  44  to both sides of the equation :  

                     -9n = 44

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  9n = -44

Divide both sides of the equation by 9:

                    n = -44/9 = -4.889

One solution was found :

                  n = -44/9 = -4.889

Answer 2

Answer:

n = -44/9

Step-by-step explanation:

n - 2 = 10n + 42

Add 2 to both sides:

n - 2 + 2 = 10n + 42  + 2

Simplify:

n = 10n + 44

Subtract 10n from both sides:

n - 10n = 10n + 44 - 10n

Simplify:

-9n = 44

Divide both sides by -9:

-9n/-9 = 44/-9

n = -44/9

I hope this helps!
