Question

A = 3n + 1 for n

Can someone help step by step

Answer 1

Hi, there.

_____

Let us solve this in terms of n.

First off, subtract 1 from both sides:

`\boldsymbol{a-1=3n}`

Next, divide both sides by 3:

`\boldsymbol{(a-1)/(3)=n}`

Answer --

`\boldsymbol{(a-1)/(3)=n}`

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!

Answer 2

`\sf \: ((a - 1))/(3) = n \\`

Explanation:

`\sf \: a = 3n + 1 \\`

To remove 1, subtract 1 from both sides.

`\sf \: a - 1 = 3n + 1 - 1 \\ \sf \: a - 1 = 3n`

Divide both sides by 3.

`\sf \: ((a - 1))/(3) = (3n)/(3) \\ \\ \sf \: ((a - 1))/(3) = n`
