7n%2B5=10n-10 Start with the given equation



7n=10n-10-5Subtract 5 from both sides


7n-10n=-10-5 Subtract 10n from both sides


-3n=-10-5 Combine like terms on the left side


-3n=-15 Combine like terms on the right side


n=%28-15%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate n



n=5 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is n=5
