Simplifying 2.9n + 1.7 = 3.5 + 2.3n Reorder the terms: 1.7 + 2.9n = 3.5 + 2.3n Solving 1.7 + 2.9n = 3.5 + 2.3n Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.3n' to each side of the equation. 1.7 + 2.9n + - 2.3n = 3.5 + 2.3n + - 2.3n Combine like terms: 2.9n + - 2.3n = 0.6n 1.7 + 0.6n = 3.5 + 2.3n + - 2.3n Combine like terms: 2.3n + - 2.3n = 0.0 1.7 + 0.6n = 3.5 + 0.0 1.7 + 0.6n = 3.5 Add '-1.7' to each side of the equation. 1.7 + - 1.7 + 0.6n = 3.5 + - 1.7 Combine like terms: 1.7 + - 1.7 = 0.0 0.0 + 0.6n = 3.5 + - 1.7 0.6n = 3.5 + - 1.7 Combine like terms: 3.5 + - 1.7 = 1.8 0.6n = 1.8 Divide each side by '0.6'. n = 3 Simplifying N = 3
