$\"n+%2B+1%2F8+-+2+-+n%2F3+=+5%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "First, $\"n+-+n%2F3+=+%282%2F3%29%2An\"$ , so
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2F3%29%2An+%2B+1%2F8+-+2++=+5%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"2\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2F3%29%2An+%2B+1%2F8+=+5%2F6+%2B+2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"1%2F8\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2F3%29%2An+=+5%2F6+%2B+2+-+1%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16n+=+20+%2B+48+-+3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16n+=+65\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+=+4.0625\"$
