Question

How do you solve 12n + 2 - 3n = 10 - n +2

Answer 1

add the like terms and isolate th variable (n)
12n +2 - 3n = 10 - n + 2
9n + 2 = 10 -n + 2
10n = 10
n = 1

Answer 2

I do not understand I'm at 9n + 2 = 10 - n + 2

Answer 3

oh sorry /)_-
9n + 2 = 10 - n + 2
so take the - n from the right side and do the opposite equation on both sides (+n)
so (+n) +9n + 2 = 10 - n + (n) + 2
so 10n + 2 = 10 + 2
then move over the 2 to the right side
10n +2 - (2) = 12 - (2)
10n = 10

Answer 4

YOU'RE NOT MAKING SENSE BYE!!!

Answer 5

idk how to explain it.. What's not making sense?

Answer 6

do you understand what like terms are ?

Answer 7

12n + 2 - 3n = 10 - n + 2 --- combine like terms
9n + 2 = 12 - n -- add n to both sides
9n + n + 2 = 12 - n + n -- combine like terms
10n + 2 = 12 -- subtract 2 from both sides
10n + 2 - 2 = 12 - 2 -- combine like terms
10n = 10 -- divide both sides by 10
10n/10 = 10/10
n = 1

Answer 8

I do not know how to explain it any easier....

Answer 9

Neither do I!!
