Question

a(n - 3) + 8 = bn for n

Answer 1

Answer:

$n=\frac{3a-8}{a-b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$a(n-3)+8=bn$

The question is Solve for n

Apply the distributive property on the left side

$an-3a+8=bn$

Group terms that contain the same variable and move the other terms to the opposite side of the equation

$an-bn=3a-8$

Factor the variable n

$n(a-b)=3a-8$

Divide both sides by (a-b)

$n=\frac{3a-8}{a-b}$
