Question

What is n equal to in the equation?
4(2n+5)=60

Answer 1

n = 5

Explanation:

4(2n+5)=60

2n+5=15 Divide both sides by 4

2n = 10 Subtract 5 from both sides

n = 5 Simplify and divide by 2 to isolate the variable

Answer 2

n = 5

Explanation:

First, you'd want to expand the entire equation to solve it.

4 (2n + 5) = 60

8n + 20 = 60

8n = 40

n = 5

I hope this helped!
