Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Answer to Problem 42E

Thesolution of the given equation is n=1

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The equation −3n+2=2n−3

Concept Used:

Solving an equation means, to find the value of the unknown in the given equation.

Calculation:

For the given equation −3n+2=2n−3

Solving it

  −3n+2=2n−3−3n+2−2n=2n−3−2n  Subtract 2n from each side−5n+2=−3   Simplify−5n+2−2=−3−2         Subtract 2 from each side

  −5n=−5           Simplify−5n5=−55          Divide each side by 5−n=−1           Simplify(−1)(−n)=(−1)(−1)Multiply each side by −1

  n=1 Simplify

Therefore, the solution of the given equation is n=1

Checking the solution.

Consider the equation −3n+2=2n−3

Substituting the solution of the equation in both the sides.

Left-hand side of the equation.

  −3n+2=−3(1)+2      Substituting solution h=−9=−3+2           Simplify=−1    Simplify

Right-hand side of the equation.

  2n−3=2(1)−3        Substituting solution h=−9=2−3 Simplify=−1    Simplify

Since, after substitution, left-hand side is coming out to be equal to the right-hand side.

Hence, the solution n=1 of the given equation is correct.

Conclusion:

Thesolution of the given equation is n=1
