Question 512028
"when 3 is subtracted from 5 times a number n, the results is 27" translates to {{{5n-3=27}}}



{{{5n-3=27}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5n=27+3}}} Add {{{3}}} to both sides.



{{{5n=30}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{n=(30)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{n}}}.



{{{n=6}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{n=6}}}
