34 = n - 2.5

Question

What operation is needed on both sides of the equation to solve it?

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(34 = n - 2.5\), you need to isolate \(n\). To do this, you should add \(2.5\) to both sides of the equation.

Here's the operation:

\[ 34 + 2.5 = n - 2.5 + 2.5 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 36.5 = n \]

So the operation needed is addition of \(2.5\) to both sides of the equation.
