Given:
.
2(n-7)+3=9
.
First do the distributive multiplication on the left side by multiplying 2 times each of
the terms inside the parentheses to get:
.
2n+-+14+%2B+3+=+9
.
Next add the -14 and the + 3 on the left side to get:
.
2n+-+11+=+9
.
Then add 11 to both sides to eliminate the 11 on the left side and get:
.
2n+=+20
.
Finally divide both sides by 2 to get the solution:
.
n+=+20%2F2+=+10
.
Substitute 10 for n in the original equation to check the answer:
.
2%28n-7%29%2B3=9
.
2%2810-7%29+%2B+3+=+9
.
+2%283%29+%2B3+=+9
.
6+%2B+3+=+9
.
It checks! So our answer is correct.

Hope this helps you see ways in which you can solve basic math equations.
