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 containing \(n\):
\[
\frac{5.6(n + 1.42)}{5.6} = \frac{7.8}{5.6}
\]
After performing this division, the equation simplifies to:
\[
n + 1.42 = \frac{7.8}{5.6}
\]
Thus, the second step in solving the equation, after dividing each side by 5.6, would then be to subtract 1.42 from both sides to solve for \(n\):
\[
n = \frac{7.8}{5.6} - 1.42
\]
Therefore, the answer is: **Divide both sides by 5.6.**
\[
\frac{5.6(n + 1.42)}{5.6} = \frac{7.8}{5.6}
\]
After performing this division, the equation simplifies to:
\[
n + 1.42 = \frac{7.8}{5.6}
\]
Thus, the second step in solving the equation, after dividing each side by 5.6, would then be to subtract 1.42 from both sides to solve for \(n\):
\[
n = \frac{7.8}{5.6} - 1.42
\]
Therefore, the answer is: **Divide both sides by 5.6.**
