6%282n-5%29=4n%2B2 Start with the given equation.


12n-30=4n%2B2 Distribute.


12n=4n%2B2%2B30 Add 30 to both sides.


12n-4n=2%2B30 Subtract 4n from both sides.


8n=2%2B30 Combine like terms on the left side.


8n=32 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%2832%29%2F%288%29 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate n.


n=4 Reduce.
