n = 3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3 (n - 5) = 0.4 - 0.2n

Distribute

.3n - 1.5 =.4 -.2n

Add. 2n to each side

.3n +.2n - 1.5 =.4 -.2 +.2n

.5n - 1.5 =.4

Add 1.5 to each side

.5n - 1.5 + 1.5 =.4+1.5

.5n = 1.9

Divide each side by. 5

.5n/.5 = 1.9/.5

n = 3.8

So 0.3 (n - 5) = 0.4 - 0.2nN=?What is N?
