To solve the equation, we need to simplify both sides and isolate the variable.
Starting with the left side of the equation:
8n - (5n + 8)
8n - 5n - 8 (distributing the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses)
3n - 8
Now, the equation becomes:
3n - 8 = 16
To isolate the variable, we can add 8 to both sides of the equation:
3n - 8 + 8 = 16 + 8
3n = 24
Finally, we divide both sides by 3 to solve for n:
3n/3 = 24/3
n = 8
Therefore, the solution to the equation is n = 8.
