To solve this equation, we want to isolate the variable "n" on one side of the equation.
Starting with 3/8 + n = 7/8, we first want to get rid of the fraction on the left side of the equation. We can do this by finding a common denominator, which in this case is 8.
So, we rewrite the equation as:
3/8 + n = 7/8
(3/8) * 8 + n = (7/8) * 8
3 + 8n = 7
Next, we want to isolate the variable "n" on one side of the equation by moving the constant to the other side. We can do this by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation.
3 + 8n = 7
8n = 7 - 3
8n = 4
Finally, we solve for n by dividing both sides by 8:
n = 4 / 8
n = 1/2
Therefore, the solution to 3/8 + n = 7/8 is n = 1/2.
solve 3/8 + n = 7/8
