what is the second step in solving for n in the equation 5.6(n+1.42)=7.8

Question

multipy both sides by 5.6
divide both sides by 5.6
add 1.42 from both sides
sutract 1.42 from both sides

Answer 1

In the equation \( 5.6(n + 1.42) = 7.8 \), the first step is to divide both sides by \( 5.6 \) to isolate the term containing \( n \).

So the second step, after dividing, would be to:

• Subtract \( 1.42 \) from both sides of the resulting equation to solve for \( n \).

Thus, the correct answer from your options for the second step is subtract 1.42 from both sides.
