Answer:

↠ n = 38

Explanation:

Let's solve the problem!

Given equation:

`\bf{3n-35=79}`

First, add 35 to both sides:

`\bf{3n=79+35}`

`\bf{3n=114}`

Then, divide both sides by 3:

`\bf{n=38}`

Verbal sentence

3n can be written as the product of a number and 3.

Then, we decrease this value by 35, which can be also written as 35 less than 3n, and the result is 79:

35 less than the product of a number and 3 is 79.
