Answer:

n=16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

1/ 2 n−3=5

Step 1: Add 3 to both sides.

1/ 2 n−3+3=5+3

1/ 2 n=8

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 2.

2*( 1/ 2 n)=(2)*(8)

n=16

Answer:

n=16

Solve equation using substitution method 4(x-1)-3x=2

NikAS [45]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

4(x - 1) - 3x = 2

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute 4: 4x - 4 - 3x = 2
Combine like terms: x - 4 = 2
Add 4 to both sides: x = 6

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

4(6 - 1) - 3(6) = 2

4(5) - 18 = 2

20 - 18 = 2

2 = 2
