3n+8=5n+2
3n-3n+8=5n-3n+2
0+8=2n+2
8=2n+2
8-2=2n+2-2
6=2n
6/2=2n/2
3=n
Check, if n=3 does the equation balnce?
3(3)+8=5(3)+2
9+8=15+2
17=17 We're right!!!
Happy Calculating!!!!

3n + 8 = 5n + 2
==> 3n + 8 - 5n = 5n + 2 - 5n
==> - 2n + 8 = 2
==> - 2n + 8 - 8 = 2 - 8
==> - 2n = - 6
==> -2n/-2 = -6/-2
==> n = 3
Good luck!!!
