5=7+n
Subtract 7 from both sides.
Well since we are adding we need to subtract to find n. Reason being, if we had 6+7=14 we could take it and say 14-6=7 or 14-7=6. Get it? So 5-7 is a negative number. 7-5 is 2 so it is -2. n=(-2), Hope that helps!!!!
Thank you so much Ms. Sue and Pride! :)
You're welcome.
To solve the equation 5 = 7 + n, you want to find the value of n that makes the equation true.
To isolate the variable n, you can start by subtracting 7 from both sides of the equation:
5 - 7 = 7 + n - 7
This simplifies to:
-2 = n
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5 = 7 + n is n = -2.
