Q:

What is the value of n?n–2=10n+42Enter your answer in the box.n =

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Step-by-step explanation:Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :                     n-2-(10*n+42)=0   Step by step solution : Step  1  : Pulling out like terms : 1.1     Pull out like factors :   -9n - 44  =   -1 • (9n + 44)   Equation at the end of step  1  : Step  2  : Solving a Single Variable Equation : 2.1      Solve  :    -9n-44 = 0   Add  44  to both sides of the equation :                        -9n = 44 Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  9n = -44 Divide both sides of the equation by 9:                     n = -44/9 = -4.889 One solution was found :                   n = -44/9 = -4.889
