My apologies for the previous response. 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 solve for n in the equation 5.6(n+1.42)=7.8, the second step is to divide both sides of the equation by 5.6.
To do this, you need to isolate the term (n + 1.42) on the left side by dividing both sides of the equation by 5.6. This step is necessary because 5.6 is being multiplied by the parenthesis on the left side, so by dividing both sides by 5.6, you can isolate n + 1.42.
Dividing both sides by 5.6 will result in:
(n + 1.42) = 7.8 / 5.6
Simplifying the right side gives:
(n + 1.42) = 1.392857142857143
Now, n + 1.42 is isolated on the left side of the equation, and you can move on to the next step in solving for n.
