    basic algebra formula
    Hello, I'm trying to help my son with homework and I have forgotten how to do this part
    of the problem since I can't recall the distribution rules

    5n+4=(7n+1)-2n


    I need to see the steps... not just the answer

    Thanks
    Loretta

    5n+4=(7n+1)-2n Can be written without the parentahsees
    5n+4=7n+1-2n Add like Terms
    5n+4=5n+1 Get N on one side
    4=1 This problem doesn't work as N was cancelled out.
