Chapter 3.1, Problem 7OE

To determine

To describe:the change in the given equation to produce an equivalent equation with the variable alone in one side and state the equivalent equation.

Answer to Problem 7OE

Subtract 6 from each side.

The equivalent equationis $n=-6$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

An equation is given as

  $6+n=0$

Calculation:

Consider the given equation.

  $6+n=0$

Now, for getting the variable in one side alone, subtract 6 from each side.

  $\begin{array}{c}6+n-6=0-6\\ n=-6\end{array}$

The equivalent equationis $n=-6$ .
