Exercise 12 Page 45

To solve the equation, we have to isolate n on one side.

n=-4

Practice makes perfect

To solve the equation, we have to isolate n on one side using the Properties of Equality. To begin, we will move the variable terms to one side.

3n-3=4n+1

LHS-3n=RHS-3n

3n-3-3n=4n+1-3n

Subtract terms

-3=n+1

LHS-1=RHS-1

-3-1=n+1-1

Subtract terms

-4=n

Rearrange equation

n=-4

The solution to the equation is n=-4.
