Solve: n+5=19(n−1)
Given: n+5=19(n−1)
⇒n+5=19n−19
Lets separate the variables and constants by using the transpose rules
⇒19n−n=5+19
⇒18n=24
⇒n=2418
⇒n=43
Check whether the value given in the brackets is a solution to the given equation or not:
(a) n + 5 = 19 (n = 1) (b) 7n + 5 = 19 (n = − 2)
(c) 7n + 5 = 19 (n = 2) (d) 4p − 3 = 13 (p = 1)
(e) 4p − 3 = 13 (p = − 4) (f) 4p − 3 = 13 (p = 0)
