To solve for ( n ) in the equation (-1.7n + 7.9 = 6.5 – 3.7n), follow these steps:
1. Get all the ( n ) terms on one side:
Add ( 3.7n ) to both sides:
[
-1.7n + 3.7n + 7.9 = 6.5
]
This simplifies to:
[
2.0n + 7.9 = 6.5
]
2. Isolate the ( n ) term:
Subtract ( 7.9 ) from both sides:
[
2.0n = 6.5 – 7.9
]
Which simplifies to:
[
2.0n = -1.4
]
3. Solve for ( n ):
Divide both sides by ( 2.0 ):
[
n = frac{-1.4}{2.0} = -0.7
]
So, the solution is:
[
n = -0.7
]
