6-8n=5n%2B19 Start with the given equation.


-8n=5n%2B19-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-8n-5n=19-6 Subtract 5n from both sides.


-13n=19-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-13n=13 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%2813%29%2F%28-13%29 Divide both sides by -13 to isolate n.


n=-1 Reduce.
