How do I solve this for n? (3n+30)=3584

sorry, i phrased it wrong, I meant to phrase it 3584/(3n+30)=? and how to solve that, so that I can actually do other equations like it, instead of just knowing the answer.

Your answer of 3584/(3n+30)=? doesn't make sense!!!. The way you have it written, there is NO SOLUTION for it!!. If you are trying to get the nth term of an arithmetic sequence, then you have to give the first term, the number of terms in the sequence, and the constant of difference between the terrms, then will be able to find the nth term. Check your numbers carefully.

Ok, let me explain what I'm trying to do, and hopefully that'll clear things up. This may sound weird but I'm trying to find out what the highest level of a pet on a game I'm playing can reach, I've already found out how much XP I can earn by figuring out all the math of when it will die, which is after 64 days, I can gain a max xp of 56 a day, which means over the pets lifespan it can get 3584 xp. for level 1 it takes 30 xp to level up to level 2, and each consecutive level requires 3 more xp, so I was trying to figure out the highest level it will reach. but the problem is that I really didn't pay attention in 8th grade math class which is when they taught us nth term problems, and how to solve, and word them. help?

I'm sorry, but I'm too old to play video games, so I don't understand what your aim is!. All I can do is to give you the formula for nth. term in an arithmetic sequence, which is this:

nth term=First term +(No.of terms -1) X(constant of difference between terms). Good Luck.
