Question 77559: My question is how to solve the equation 2 - n = 7 - 2n. I've tried the following solution but the answer i found is not correct.
2 - n = 7 - 2n
2 - 2 - n = 7 - 2 - 2n
n = 5 - 2n
n + 2n = 5 - 2n + 2n
3n = 5
n = 1 2/3

As I said, the answer is supossedly not correct. Do you have any ideas on how to solve it or where I've gone wrong? Thanks!
