Question

If 3 n + 2 = 14, what must 3 n be equal to?
16
14
4
12

Answer 1

4. The easiest way to solve this would be to plug the answers choices in for n if You don’t know how to solve the equation. But to solve it you would subtract 2 from both sides 3n+2=14
-2 -2
Now you have 3n=12 then you divide both sides by 3 to cancel it out. 3/3 is 1 or n and 12/3 is 4 so n=4
