Solve the following equation
2n+8=n+11
Solve for n
2n + 8 = n + 11
Group variables
Group our variables 2n and n
subtract n from both sides
2n + 8 - n = n + 11 - n
Cancel n on the right side:
n + 8 = 11
Divide each side by 2
| 2n | |
| 2 |
| = |
| 8 |
| 2 |
Group constants
Group our constants 8 and 11.
subtract 8 from both sides
n + 8 - 8 = 11 - 8
Cancel 8 on the left side:
n = 3
Final Answer
n = 3
