What is the answer to this problem - 8 (8+n) - 6 (7n-3) = 54

n = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Equation at the end of step 1:

((0 - (8• (n+8))) - 6• (7n-3)) - 54 = 0

Step 2:

Equation at the end of step 2:

((0-8• (n+8)) - 6• (7n-3)) - 54 = 0

Step 3:

Step 4:

Pulling out like terms:

4.1 Pull out like factors:

-50n - 100 = - 50 • (n + 2)

Equation at the end of step 4:

-50 • (n + 2) = 0

Step 5:

Equations which are never true:

5.1 Solve : - 50 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

5.2 Solve : n+2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

n = - 2

The answer is n=-2
