Question

What is the value of n in the equation below? 3n+ 16 = 7n Enter your answer as a whole number.

Answer 1

We have the next equation

`3n+16=7n`

First, we will subtract 7n on both sides

`3n-7n+16=7n-7n`
`-4n+16=0`

then we subtract 16 on both sides

`-4n+16-16=-16`
`-4n=-16`

Then we divide on both sides -4

`(-4)/(-4)n=(-16)/(-4)`

`n=4`

ANSWER

n=4
