8n-(2n+5)=43

1 answer

To solve this equation, we first need to distribute the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses.

8n - 2n - 5 = 43

Next, combine like terms on the left side of the equation:

6n - 5 = 43

Add 5 to both sides of the equation:

6n = 48

Divide by 6 to solve for n:

n = 8

Therefore, the solution to the equation is n = 8.
