How do you solve 13n-16=7n+12?

2 Answers

The answer is

n = 4.67

Explanation:

13n - 16 = 7n +12

13n =7n +12 +16

13n - 7n = 12 + 16

6n = 28

n = 28 / 6

n =14/3

So

n = 4.bar(6)

Round it up to,

n = 4.67

n=14/3

Explanation:

"collect terms in n on the left side of the equation and "
"numeric values on the right side"

"subtract "7n" from both sides"

13n-7n-16=cancel(7n)cancel(-7n)+12

6n-16=12

"add 16 to both sides"

6n=28

"divide both sides by 6"

(cancel(6) n)/cancel(6)=28/6

n=28/6=14/3
