Question

can someone help me solve multi-step equations and inequalites 5n+3=2(n+2)-3n

Answer 1

5n +3 = 2(n+2) -3n
so first lets look at the right hand side of the equation and multiple out the brackets. get it to be as simple as possible...
2(n+2)-3n ==> 2n +4 -3n

so now we have

5n +3 = 2n + 4 -3n

now add them all up so you only have one set of "n"s on either side...

5n+ 3 = 4 -n (because 2n - 3n = -n)

now get the n on oneside and the numbers on the other. remember when you move numbers across the = sign on an equation you have to change their + or - sign.

5n + n = 4 - 3

6n = 1

so

n = 1/6
