Question

What is the value of n? 12+4n / 3 = 8

Answer 1

Is it

\(\dfrac{12 + 4n}{3} = 8\)

or

\(12 + \dfrac{4n}{3} = 8\) ?

Answer 2

The top

Answer 3

same question... @mathstudent55

Answer 4

Ok.
Since the entire left side is a fraction with denominator 3, then you must multiply both sides by 3. Try that and show what you get.

Answer 5

I got 8 for my answer. I dont know if thats right.

Answer 6

\(\dfrac{12 + 4n}{3} = 8\)

\(\dfrac{12 + 4n}{3} \color{red}{\times 3} = 8\color{red}{\times 3} \)

Answer 7

I don't know if n = 8 is correct because I haven't solved the equation yet.

Answer 8

I had solved it and got 8. I dont know though.

Answer 9

The answer is definitely not 8.
All you need to do is plug in 8 in the original equation, and you'll see that 8 does not work.
How about trying to solve the way I'm explaining to you?
The first step is to multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the denominator.

\(\dfrac{12 + 4n}{3} \color{red}{\times 3} = 8\color{red}{\times 3}\)

\(12 + 4n = 24\)

I did the first step for you. Both sides were multiplied by 3.

Now, since there is a 12 on the left side, subtract 12 from both sides.
