Question

How do you solve `2n + 1= 4n - 5`?

Answer 1

`n=3`

Explanation:

=`2n+1=4n-5`

=`+1+5=4n-2n`

=`6=2n`

=`n=3`

Check

=`2(3)+1=4(3)-5`

=`7=7`

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

`n = 3`

Explanation:

`2n + 1 = 4n - 5`

The first thing we want to do is subtract `2n` from both sides of the equation:
`1 = 2n - 5`

Now we add `5` to both sides of the equation:
`6 = 2n`

Finally, we divide both sides by `2` to get the value of `n`:
`n = 3`

Answer 3

Explanation:

Subtract 2n from 2n and 4n, bring down the one an equal sign then solve 4n-2n (write your answer underneath) bring down the 5 which should leave you with "1= 2n - 5". Add five to 1 and 5, the 5 cancels out which leaves you with 1 +5 and that equals 6..divide 6 by 2 and your answer is n=3
