The correct response is "8 is the first term in the equation."
By subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation, Jonny is trying to isolate the variable "n" on one side. This step allows him to continue simplifying the equation and 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)
