Question

4n − 5 = 3n + 2

I know its 6 but i don't know how to solve it.!!!!!!!!@@@23q9

Answer 1

I would subtract 3n from each side, and add 5 to each side.

I am wondering how you "know" it is 6 if you don't know how to solve it. In fact, it is not six.

Answer 2

The answer is not 6.

4n − 5 = 3n + 2

Subtract 3n from both sides.

n - 5 = 2

Add 5 to both sides.

n = 7

Proof:

4(7) - 5 = 3(7) + 2
28 - 5 = 21 + 2
23 = 23
