Exercise 61 Page 270

Use the Properties of Equality to isolate the variable.

n=100

Practice makes perfect
To solve the equation, we have to isolate n on one side. First, we will use the Subtraction Property of Equality.
- 82=18-n
- 82-18=18-n-18
- 82-18=18-18-n
- 100=- n
- n=- 100
Now, we will use the Multiplication Property of Equality.
- n=- 100
- n* (- 1)=- 100* (- 1)
n=100
n=100 is the solution to the equation.
