I need help with this one. it's x-3 over n.

Answer 1

Notation Check - Order of Operations

Which do you mean? \(x-\dfrac{3}{n} = b\;or\;\dfrac{x-3}{n} = b\)

you have written the former, but you may mean the latter.

Do NOT just clarify. Also show your work.

Answer 12

so I did x-3 over n times n=b times n
*multiplied each term by n*

Answer 13

then x-3=b*n
*simplifies left hand side by cancelling out common factors*

Answer 14

correct, so far.....now add 3 to both sides

Answer 15

because you want x by itself
