solve 14n + 6p - 8n = 18p for n

1 answer

To solve the equation 14n + 6p - 8n = 18p for n, we can combine like terms on the left side of the equation:

(14n - 8n) + 6p = 18p

Simplifying further:

6n + 6p = 18p

Next, we want to isolate n on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 6p from both sides:

6n = 18p - 6p

Simplifying:

6n = 12p

Finally, to solve for n, we divide both sides of the equation by 6:

n = (12p)/6

Simplifying further:

n = 2p
