When solving the equation 27.75n + 5.50 = 144.25, what can you do to get 27.75n by itself on one side of the equation?

Subtract 5.5 from both sides

Or

Add - 5.50 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

27.75n + 5.50 = 144.25

To get 27.75n on one side of the equation.

We subtract 5.50 from both sides to get:

27.75n + 5.50-5.50 = 144.25-5.50

This simplifies to:

27.75n = 138.75

Therefore the answer is subtract 5.50 from both sides
