36n%5E2%2B7=8

To find n, first subtract 7 from both sides, giving us:

36n%5E2+=+1

Next, divide both sides by 36, giving us:

n%5E2+=+1%2F36

Now, we need to take the square root of both sides. Remember, if we take the square root of both sides, we have to add the +- symbol in front of the right side of our equation. So, we have:

n=%28sqrt%281%29%2Fsqrt%2836%29%29 AND n=-%28sqrt%281%29%2Fsqrt%2836%29%29

This can be reduced to:

n=1%2F6 AND n=-1%2F6, which are your answers
