Question

$$N \times 20=(N+2) \times 18$$

Solve for N

$N=18$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $N+2$ by $18$.

$$N\times 20=18N+36$$

Subtract $18N$ from both sides.

$$N\times 20-18N=36$$

Combine $N\times 20$ and $-18N$ to get $2N$.

$$2N=36$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$N=\frac{36}{2}$$

Divide $36$ by $2$ to get $18$.

$$N=18$$
