Question

d + 3n = 1 solve for n

Answer 1

1.Subtract d both sides
2.Divide by 3 both sides.

Answer 2

ajprincess: I think that is what I did and I got: n = 1 - d/3. But jiji501 has something different. Am I wrong?

Answer 3

yup.
d + 3n = 1
1.Subtract d both sides
d+3n-d=1-d
3n=1-d
2.Divide by 3 both sides.
3n/3=(1-d)/3
n=(1-d)/3
n=1/3-d/3
Nw is it clear?

Answer 4

I did the exact same thing as you.... but you have your answer different than I do. I have n = 1-d/3 as one fraction and you have n = 1/3 - d/3 as two fractions I don't understand why you split it into 2 fractions.. why is that?
