Question

can someone help me with question i don't know how to do it please and thank you!

2(n - 3) + 5 = 3(n - 1)

Answer 1

2n-6=3n-3 3n-2n=6-3 n=3

Answer 2

Step 1: Expand each side and simplify
LHS (left hand side) =
= 2(n-3) + 5
= 2n - 6 + 5
= 2n - 1

RHS = 3(n-1) = 3n - 3

Step 2: Set LHS = RHS and collect all n terms on one side

2n - 1 = 3n - 3
2n - 3n - 1 = 3n - 3n - 3
-n - 1 = -3
-n - 1 + 1 = -3 + 1
-n = -2

Step 3: Solve explicitly for n

-n = -2

hence

n = 2

Answer 3

rob and jesus r correct

Answer 4

distribute on both sides.. 2n - 6 + 5 = 3n -3
add like terms... 2n -1 = 3n -3
bring vairables all to one side. 2n - 3n = 1 - 3
-n = -2
multiply both sides by -1
n = 2!

Answer 5

Step 4: Verify result by substituting back into equation

LHS = 2(n - 3) + 5 = 2(2 -3) + 5 = -2 + 5 = 3
RHS = 3 (n - 1) = 3(2 -1) = 3(1) = 3

Hence LHS = RHS and therefore n = 2 is indeed the solution.

Answer 6

And for the record n = 3 is NOT a solution.

Answer 7

Silly number 5!

James is correct!

I lost my 5 in the equation.

n=2

Answer 8

2(n - 3) + 5 = 3(n - 1)

2n-6+5=3n-3

2n-1=3n-3

2n-3n=-3+1

-n=-2

n=2
