@nincompoop Can you help ??

@mathmath333 ^^
OpenStudy (shinalcantara):
transpose first -3 to the right side of the equation
n/3 = 12 + 3
n/3 = 15
cross multiply to get the value of n

@shinalcantara ^ also, would n= 45 ? for the last question ?
OpenStudy (shinalcantara):
yep
OpenStudy (shinalcantara):
for 6x + 20 - 16
just do the same concept. transpose. then this time since the it's a coefficient, divide. can you do that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmmm..?

*6x + 20 = -16
OpenStudy (shinalcantara):
transpose 20 to the right..
or let's say subtract 20 on both sides of the equation
OpenStudy (shinalcantara):
6x + 20 - 20 = -16 -20
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-4 ?
OpenStudy (shinalcantara):
6x = -36
take note that both are negative
it's like rewriting it as
6x = -16 +(-20)

OpenStudy (shinalcantara):
6x = -36
dividing both sides with 6
x = -6
