OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 x n?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

7 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The whole point of this is just to find what n equals

oh yeah I forgot that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what we do to one side of the equation we do to the other

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
