Your question seems to be asking to solve for n in the following:
n%2B%281%2F8%29+-+2-%28n%2F3%29+=+%285%2F6%29
The first step to doing this problem is to combine like terms, therefore we would do n-%28n%2F3%29 and
Then then need to get n by itself on one side and since right now it is %282n%2F3 we want to get that by itself. To do that, we will add %2815%2F8%29 to both sides, so the problem turns out to be:
+%282n%2F3%29=%2865%2F24%29
Then, what we can do is cross multiply to get rid of the fractions, so what that means is we would do 24 x 2x and 3x65 . That makes the problem look like:
48n=195
Finally we divide both sides by 48 to get n by itself, so the problem turns out to be:
+n+=%28195%2F48%29+
