Question

I need help with multi-step equations.
The problem is 14n-8=34
Do I add 8 to each side or subtract?

Answer 1

You want to make the n to stay by itself. So firs we need to get rid off the -8 by adding 8 to both sides
14n=34+8
14n=42
Next we want to get rid off the 14, so we divide by 14
n=42/14
n=3.
