Question

I need to know the answer to 5n-2=3n+40

Answer 1

Hey there!

• 
  `5n -2`
  `= 3n +40`
• Firstly, let's
  `subtract` by the number
  `3n` on both of your sides
• 
  `5n -2-3n`
  `= 3n + 40 - 3n`
• We get:
  `= 2n - 2 = 40`
• Nextly, let's
  `add` by the number
  `2` on each of your sides
• 
  `2n - 2+2`
  `= 40 +2`
• 
  `40 +2`
  `=42`
• We get:
  `2n`
  `=42`
• Thirdly,
  `divide` by
  `2` on each of your side
• 
  `(2n)/(2)`
  `=`
  `\frac{42}2}`
• Cancel:
  `(2n)/(2)`
• Keep:
  `(42)/(2)` because it gives you your overall answer
• 
  `\boxed{Answer: n = 21}`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
