Question

A(n - 3) + 8 = bn for n

Answer 1

`n=(3a-8)/(a-b)`

Explanation:

we have

`a(n-3)+8=bn`

The question is Solve for n

Apply the distributive property on the left side

`an-3a+8=bn`

Group terms that contain the same variable and move the other terms to the opposite side of the equation

`an-bn=3a-8`

Factor the variable n

`n(a-b)=3a-8`

Divide both sides by (a-b)

`n=(3a-8)/(a-b)`
