Isolate variable term: First, we need to isolate the term with the variable n on one side of the equation. To do this, we will subtract 0.6 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the left side.5n+0.6−0.6=2−0.6
Simplify equation: Now, we simplify both sides of the equation by performing the subtraction. 5n=1.4
Get rid of denominator: Next, we need to solve for n by getting rid of the denominator 5. We do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5.5×5n=1.4×5
Perform multiplication: We perform the multiplication on both sides. n=7
