Subtract 5.6 from both sides.
Subtract 5.6 from both sides.

Divide both sides by 5.6.
Divide both sides by 5.6.

Add 1.42 to both sides.
Add 1.42 to both sides.

Subtract 1.42 from both sides.....

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 5.6(n + 1.42) = 7.8 \):

1. First, you would need to divide both sides by \( 5.6 \) to isolate \( n + 1.42 \).

So, the second step in solving for \( n \) is:

**Divide both sides by 5.6.**

After that step, your equation would look like this:

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

Then, you would continue solving for \( n \) by subtracting \( 1.42 \) from both sides.
