Answer 1

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

The second step involves simplifying what is left after that division. The equation will look like this:

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

Now, to isolate \( n \), the next step would be to subtract 1.42 from both sides.

So, the answer is:

Subtract 1.42 from both sides.
