Question

How do you solve `2n=900`?

Answer 1

Divide by two.

Explanation:

The goal is to get `n` by itself on one side of the equation and a value that it equals on the other. Right now, there are 2 `n`'s. To get rid of this, we divide by two. However, in order to keep the equations equal, we divide the other side as well.

`2n=900`

`2n÷2=n, 900/2=450`

`n=450`
