52=4%288%2B5n%29 Start with the given equation.


52=32%2B20n Distribute.


0=32%2B20n-52 Subtract 52 from both sides.


-20n=32-52 Subtract 20n from both sides.


-20n=-20 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%28-20%29%2F%28-20%29 Divide both sides by -20 to isolate n.


n=1 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is n=1
