3.6-1.2n=2.8(n-5)

Solution for 3.6-1.2n=2.8(n-5) equation:

Simplifying
3.6 + -1.2n = 2.8(n + -5)

Reorder the terms:
3.6 + -1.2n = 2.8(-5 + n)
3.6 + -1.2n = (-5 * 2.8 + n * 2.8)
3.6 + -1.2n = (-14 + 2.8n)

Solving
3.6 + -1.2n = -14 + 2.8n

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2.8n' to each side of the equation.
3.6 + -1.2n + -2.8n = -14 + 2.8n + -2.8n

Combine like terms: -1.2n + -2.8n = -4n
3.6 + -4n = -14 + 2.8n + -2.8n

Combine like terms: 2.8n + -2.8n = 0.0
3.6 + -4n = -14 + 0.0
3.6 + -4n = -14

Add '-3.6' to each side of the equation.
3.6 + -3.6 + -4n = -14 + -3.6

Combine like terms: 3.6 + -3.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -4n = -14 + -3.6
-4n = -14 + -3.6

Combine like terms: -14 + -3.6 = -17.6
-4n = -17.6

Divide each side by '-4'.
n = 4.4

Simplifying
n = 4.4
