Solve for n 5n+34=-2(1-7n)

Problem

5*n+34=−2*(1−7*n)

Solution

1. Distribute the −2 on the right side of the equation to both terms inside the parentheses.

5*n+34=−2+14*n

2. Subtract 5*n from both sides to begin isolating the variable terms on one side.

34=−2+9*n

3. Add 2 to both sides to move the constant term away from the variable.

36=9*n

4. Divide both sides by 9 to solve for n

n=4

Final Answer

n=4
