To solve the equation, we need to isolate n on one side. We can do this by adding 2n to both sides of the equation:

13 - 2n + 2n = -109 + 2n

Simplifying,

13 = -109 + 2n

Next, we can isolate 2n by subtracting -109 from both sides:

13 + 109 = -109 + 2n + 109

Simplifying,

122 = 2n

To solve for n, we can divide both sides by 2:

122/2 = 2n/2

61 = n

Therefore, the value for n that makes the equation true is 61.
