Difficulty: EasySolving One-Variable Linear Equations

Solve for $n$ in the equation below:

8n - 11 = 37

Enter the exact value of $n$ .

Answer: 6

To find the value of

n

, first perform the inverse operation of subtraction by adding 11 to both sides, which simplifies the equation to

8n = 48

. Then, perform the inverse operation of multiplication by dividing both sides by 8, yielding

n = 6

Isolate the variable term.

8n = 48

Adding 11 to both sides neutralizes the -11 on the left side of the equation.

Solve for the variable.

n = 6

Dividing both sides by 8 isolates n completely.
