what is n equal to in the problem 0=n-78

Answer 1

0 = n - 78

Add 78 to both sides.

78 = n

Flip the equation so that the variable is on the left.

n = 78

Answer 2

Hey!

Even though this question has already been answered by Aaron Z. I wanted to give some input and advice that I think will be helpful.

This question asks you to figure out what "n" is in the equations 0 = n-78.

For questions like these and others that ask you similar questions remember that this question will be really helpful: "How do I isolate "n" or "the variable" on one side?"

In this question, you isolate the variable (which is "n" in this case) by adding 78.

Tip #2: What you do to one side, you must do to the other!

0+78 = n -78 +78

Now lets simplify:

78= n - 0 which just means 78 = n.

And ta da! You have your answer!

Remember those two tips:

1. Ask yourself: "How do I isolate the variable so that it's alone on one side?"
2. What you do to one side, you must do to the other! (it doesn't matter if it is addition, multiplication, subtraction, division, etc)

Best of wishes!

I know you got this!
