47=2n%2B5%281-8n%29 Start with the given equation.


47=2n%2B5-40n Distribute.


47=-38n%2B5 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=-38n%2B5-47 Subtract 47 from both sides.


38n=5-47 Add 38n to both sides.


38n=-42 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%28-42%29%2F%2838%29 Divide both sides by 38 to isolate n.


n=-21%2F19 Reduce.
