Solve for n

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

]
