Question

How do you solve this ? 74 - 3n = n -22

Answer 1

Solve your equation step-by-step.

74−3n=n−22

Simplify both sides of the equation.

74−3n=n−22

74+−3n=n+−22

−3n+74=n−22

Subtract n from both sides.

−3n+74−n=n−22−n

−4n+74=−22

Subtract 74 from both sides.

−4n+74−74=−22−74

−4n=−96

Divide both sides by -4.

−4n/−4 = −96/−4

n=24

Answer 2

You said                          74 - 3n  =  n - 22

Add  3n  to each side:            74  =  4n - 22

Add  22  to each side:              96  =  4n

Divide each side by  4 :           24  =  n
