The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \((9n - (5n - 3))/(8) = (2(n - 1) - (3 - 7n))/(12)\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation Start by simplifying the left side: \[ 9n - (5n - 3) = 9n - 5n + 3 = 4n + 3 \] So, the left side becomes: \[ \frac{4n + 3}{8} \] Now simplify the right side: \[ 2(n - 1) - (3 - 7n) = 2n - 2 - 3 + 7n = 2n + 7n - 2 - 3 = 9n - 5 \] So, the right side becomes: \[ \frac{9n - 5}{12} \] Now, our equation looks like this: \[ \frac{4n + 3}{8} = \frac{9n - 5}{12} \] ### Step 2: Cross-multiply Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions: \[ 12(4n + 3) = 8(9n - 5) \] ### Step 3: Distribute Distributing both sides gives: \[ 48n + 36 = 72n - 40 \] ### Step 4: Move all terms involving \(n\) to one side Rearranging the equation: \[ 48n + 36 + 40 = 72n \] This simplifies to: \[ 48n + 76 = 72n \] ### Step 5: Isolate \(n\) Now, isolate \(n\) by moving \(48n\) to the right: \[ 76 = 72n - 48n \] This simplifies to: \[ 76 = 24n \] ### Step 6: Solve for \(n\) Now, divide both sides by 24: \[ n = \frac{76}{24} \] This can be simplified: \[ n = \frac{19}{6} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(n\) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{19}{6}} \] ---
