Question

Solve for the indicated variable y=gx + n . Solve for n

Answer 1

Th equation is:

$y=gx+n$

We need to solve for n.

It means, to find an expression of the form n = something.

We need to isolate n.

In the expression, if we get rid of "gx" from the right-hand side, we can isolate n.

For this, we subtract "gx" from both sides.

Then, we get our answer.

Shown below:

$\begin{gathered} y=gx+n \\ y-gx=gx+n-gx \\ y-gx=n \\ or \\ n=y-gx \end{gathered}$
