what is the second step in solving for n in the equation 5.6(n+1.42)=7.8

3 answers

The second step in solving for n in the equation 5.6(n+1.42)=7.8 is to distribute the 5.6 to both terms within the parentheses.

The equation becomes: 5.6n + 5.6(1.42) = 7.8
so you have to subtract ?
Apologies for the misunderstanding in my previous response.

To solve for n in the equation 5.6(n+1.42) = 7.8, the next step is to simplify the equation by distributing 5.6 to both terms within the parentheses:

5.6n + (5.6)(1.42) = 7.8

Multiplying 5.6 by 1.42 gives: 7.952

The equation now becomes: 5.6n + 7.952 = 7.8
