Subtract 1.42 from both sides.
Subtract 1.42 from both sides.

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

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

Add 1.42 to both sides.

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 5.6(n + 1.42) = 7.8 \), the first step is to divide both sides by \( 5.6 \) to isolate the term \( (n + 1.42) \).

So, the second step after dividing would involve simplifying that expression, but since you are asking for the second step after determining the first action (which is dividing), the correct answer to your question is:

**Divide both sides by 5.6.**
