How to solve n + 3 = 12 + n/2

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$n+3=12+\frac{n}{2}$$

Solve for n

$n=18$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$.

$$2n+6=24+n$$

Subtract $n$ from both sides.

$$2n+6-n=24$$

Combine $2n$ and $-n$ to get $n$.

$$n+6=24$$

Subtract $6$ from both sides.

$$n=24-6$$

Subtract $6$ from $24$ to get $18$.

$$n=18$$
