Jonny's first step to subtract 8 from both sides of the equation is because:
8 is attached to 3n by subtraction.
By subtracting 8 from both sides, he is isolating the term with n, which is the correct approach to solve for n.
Jonny is solving this equation for n
: 8 + 3n = 20
. His first step is to subtract 8 from both sides of the equation. Why?(1 point)
