Question

3n-(2+n) what’s the value of n to make the expression equal to 6

Answer 1

n=4

Explanation:

Start by writing the equation without parenthesis. Since there is a negative sign, everything in the parenthesis changes sign: 3n-2-n=6

Combine like terms: 2n-2=6

move -2 to the other side: 2n=8

divide both sides by 2: n=4

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

3n-(2+n) = 6

3n-2-n = 6

2n-2 = 6

2n = 8

n = 4
