5n+6 - 3n=12 need to show steps

Combine the variables giving you 2n+6 = 12 after that get the variable alone by subtracting each side by 6 giving you 2n=6 and last divide each side by 2.

N=3

Simplifying 5n + 6 + - 3n = 12 Reorder the terms: 6 + 5n + - 3n = 12 Combine like terms: 5n + - 3n = 2n 6 + 2n = 12 Solving 6 + 2n = 12 Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-6' to each side of the equation. 6 + - 6 + 2n = 12 + - 6 Combine like terms: 6 + - 6 = 0 0 + 2n = 12 + - 6 2n = 12 + - 6 Combine like terms: 12 + - 6 = 6 2n = 6 Divide each side by '2'. n = 3 Simplifying n = 3
