Answer 1

To solve for \( n \) in the equation \( 5.6(n + 1.42) = 7.8 \), the first step would be to divide both sides by 5.6 to isolate the expression involving \( n \).

So, the second step would be to **subtract 1.42 from both sides** after that initial division.

Thus, the correct answer is:

**Subtract 1.42 from both sides.**
