Subtract 1.42 from both sides.

Divide both sides by 5.6.

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(5.6(n + 1.42) = 7.8\), the first step would be to divide both sides by \(5.6\) to isolate the term with \(n\). This gives you:

\[ n + 1.42 = \frac{7.8}{5.6} \]

The second step would be to subtract \(1.42\) from both sides to solve for \(n\).

So the correct answer is:

Subtract 1.42 from both sides.
