Answer
n=0.4
Work Step by Step
Simplifying
3n + (2n + 4) = 6
Reorder the terms:
3n + (4 + 2n) = 6
Remove parenthesis around (4 + 2n)
3n + 4 + 2n = 6
Reorder the terms:
4 + 3n + 2n = 6
Combine like terms: 3n + 2n = 5n
4 + 5n = 6
Solving
4 + 5n = 6
Solving for variable 'n'.
Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 5n = 6 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 5n = 6 + -4
5n = 6 + -4
Combine like terms: 6 + -4 = 2
5n = 2
Divide each side by '5'.
n = 0.4
Simplifying
n = 0.4
