Question
Solve the equation
Solve for n
n=−27
Alternative Form
n=−3.5
Evaluate
2(n−3)=4n+1
Expand the expression
More Steps
Evaluate
2(n−3)
Apply the distributive property
2n−2×3
Multiply the numbers
2n−6
2n−6=4n+1
Move the expression to the left side
2n−6−4n=1
Move the expression to the right side
2n−4n=1+6
Add and subtract
More Steps
Evaluate
2n−4n
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(2−4)n
Subtract the numbers
−2n
−2n=1+6
Add and subtract
−2n=7
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2n=−7
Divide both sides
22n=2−7
Divide the numbers
n=2−7
Solution
n=−27
Alternative Form
n=−3.5
