Write an equation that can be used to find the value of n.

Solve the equation to find the value of n. In your answer, show all of your work.

Answer 1

A) 2(n-3)=24
B) expand
2n-6=24
Move six to the other side as a positive number
2n= 30
Divide both sides by two to get n
30/2 is 15.
Therefore, n is equal to 15
