Question

What is the second step in solving for n in the equation if you already divided both sides 5.6 5.6(n+1.42)=7.8 ?(1 point) Responses Subtract 1.42 from both sides. Subtract 1.42 from both sides. Add 1.42 to both sides. Add 1.42 to both sides. Divide both sides by 5.6. Divide both sides by 5.6. Subtract 5.6 from both sides.

Answer 1

In the equation \( 5.6(n + 1.42) = 7.8 \), after dividing both sides by 5.6, you will get:

\[
n + 1.42 = \frac{7.8}{5.6}
\]

Now, to isolate \( n \), the second step is to subtract 1.42 from both sides. So, the correct response is:

**Subtract 1.42 from both sides.**
