Solve the following equation
5(n-1)+3=5008
Solve for n
5(n - 1) + 3 = 5008
Simplify by removing parenthesesSimplify 5(n - 1):
Distribute the 5 to each term in (n-1)
5 * n = (5 * 1)n = 5n
5 * -1 = (5 * -1) = -5
Our Total expanded term is 5n-5
Our new term is
5n - 5 + 3 = 5008
Simplify by removing parentheses
Our new term is
5n - 5 + 3 = 5008
Group the constants on the left
-5 + 3 = -2
Form modified equation
5n - 2 = + 5008
Divide each side by 5
| 5n | |
| 5 |
| = |
| -5 |
| 5 |
Group constants
Group our constants -2 and 5008.
add 2 to both sides
5n - 2 + 2 = 5008 + 2
Cancel 2 on the left side:
5n = 5010
Divide each side of the equation by 5
| 5n | |
| 5 |
| = |
| 5010 |
| 5 |
n = 1002
