Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     n-2-(10*n+4/2)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            2
 Simplify   —
            1

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (n - 2) -  (10n +  2)  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   -9n - 4  =   -1 • (9n + 4) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  -9n - 4  = 0 

Step  4  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.1      Solve  :    -9n-4 = 0 

 Add  4  to both sides of the equation : 
                      -9n = 4
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  9n = -4


Divide both sides of the equation by 9:
                     n = -4/9 = -0.444
