The second step in solving for n in the equation 5.6(n+1.42)=7.8 is to divide both sides of the equation by 5.6.
To solve for n, you need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. In this case, you can start by dividing both sides of the equation by 5.6 to eliminate the coefficient multiplying the expression (n + 1.42).
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5.6 gives you:
(n + 1.42) = 7.8 / 5.6
Simplifying the right side of the equation gives you:
(n + 1.42) = 1.3928571428571428
Now, the equation is in the form (n + 1.42) = a number.
