To solve for n in the equation 5.6(n+1.42)=7.8, we need to isolate the variable n. Here are the steps you can use:

Step 1: Distribute 5.6 to both terms inside the parentheses
5.6(n) + 5.6(1.42) = 7.8

Step 2: Simplify the equation by multiplying
5.6n + 7.952 = 7.8

Now, we need to isolate the term with n by performing the following steps:

Step 3: Subtract 7.952 from both sides to move it to the other side of the equation
5.6n = 7.8 - 7.952

Step 4: Simplify the right side of the equation
5.6n = -0.152

To solve for n, you can now move on to the next step, which is:

Step 5: Divide both sides of the equation by 5.6
n = -0.152 / 5.6

By performing the division, you will find the value of n that solves the equation.
