2n-8=3n-16%2B8 Start with the given equation.


2n-8=3n-8 Combine like terms on the right side.


2n=3n-8%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


2n-3n=-8%2B8 Subtract 3n from both sides.


-n=-8%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side.


-n=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%280%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate n.


n=0 Reduce.
