2n+5n=77 becomes 7n=77, which reduces to n=11 after dividing both sides by 7.
5%2Bexpr%281%2F3%29n=2 becomes 15+3n=6 after multiplying both sides by 3. Subtract 15 from sides to get 3n=-9, and divide both sides by 3 to get n=-3.
9-expr%281%2F4%29n=6 becomes 36-n=24 after multiplying both sides by 4. Subtract 36 from both sides to get -n=-12, which reduces to n=12.
expr%281%2F8%29n%2B20=32 becomes n+160=256 after multiplying both sides by 8. Subtracting 160 from sides gives us n=96.
You probably have a typo in the last equation, but you can use the same process as I've used here to solve it once you determine where the typo is.
