0.53(n+2.6)=8.31 , what is the answer?

0.53(n+2.6)=8.31
(n+2.6) = 8.31/0.53
(n+2.6) = 15.68
n = 15.68 - 2.6
n = 13.08

0.53(n + 2.6) = 8.31
0.53(n) + 0.53(2.6) = 8.31
0.53n = 8.31 - 1.378
n = 6.932/0.53
n = 6932/530
n = 3466/265

0.53(n + 2.6) = 8.31. Solve for n. Don't let the decimal points confuse you. It is solved the same way as if it were 3(n + 6) = a whole number.

0.53n + 1.378 = 8.31. Subtract 1.378 from both sides of the equation.

0.53n = 6.932. Divide both sides by 0.53.

n = 6.932/0.53 = 13.08. Answer

0.53(n+2.6)=8.31
0.53n+1.378=8.31
0.53n=8.31-1.378
0.53n=6.932
n=13.08 answer//

n + 2.6 = 8.31/.53
n = 15.68 - 2.6
n = 13.08
