The second step in solving for n in the equation 5.6(n+1.42)=7.8 is to subtract 1.42 from both sides.

To explain how to get to this step, you start by distributing the 5.6 to the terms inside the parentheses:
5.6 * (n+1.42) = 7.8
This becomes:
5.6n + 7.952 = 7.8

Next, you want to isolate the term with n by getting rid of the constant term (7.952) on the left side of the equation. To do this, you subtract 7.952 from both sides:
5.6n + 7.952 - 7.952 = 7.8 - 7.952
This simplifies to:
5.6n = -0.152

Therefore, the second step in solving for n is to subtract 1.42 from both sides of the equation.
