Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Step  2  :

Pulling out like terms :

 2.1     Pull out like factors :

   2n + 2  =   2 • (n + 1) 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  ((3n + 6) • 3) +  8 • (n + 1)  = 0 

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   3n + 6  =   3 • (n + 2) 

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  9 • (n + 2) +  8 • (n + 1)  = 0 

Step  5  :

Equation at the end of step  5  :

  17n + 26  = 0 

Step  6  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 6.1      Solve  :    17n+26 = 0 

 Subtract  26  from both sides of the equation : 
                      17n = -26
Divide both sides of the equation by 17:
                     n = -26/17 = -1.529
