Hello! Can someone tell me what this question wants me to solve? (I don't need any help with the answer)
Solve the equation.
–4n + 7 + 2n = 1
Simplifying
-4n + 7 + 2n = 1
Reorder the terms:
7 + -4n + 2n = 1
Combine like terms: -4n + 2n = -2n
7 + -2n = 1
Solving
7 + -2n = 1
Solving for variable 'n'.
Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + -7 + -2n = 1 + -7
Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + -2n = 1 + -7
-2n = 1 + -7
Combine like terms: 1 + -7 = -6
-2n = -6
Divide each side by '-2'.
Simplifying
Yes
Thank you. So does that mean they want me to solve for 'n'?
Hello! It looks like you have an equation that you need to solve. In this case, the equation is:
-4n + 7 + 2n = 1
To solve this equation, the goal is to isolate the variable "n" on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do it:
1. Combine the like terms on the left side of the equation. In this case, you have -4n and 2n, which can be combined as -2n:
-4n + 2n + 7 = 1
2. Simplify the equation further:
-2n + 7 = 1
3. To get rid of the positive 7 on the left side of the equation, subtract 7 from both sides:
-2n + 7 - 7 = 1 - 7
-2n = -6
4. Now you can solve for "n" by dividing both sides of the equation by -2:
(-2n)/-2 = -6/-2
n = 3
So the solution to the equation is n = 3.
