You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Get all of the n's onto one side. So subtract 3n on both sides.
-3n%2B3n%2B6=8n-3n-9
6=5n-9
Now get 5n by itself by adding 9 to each side.
6%2B9=5n-9%2B9
15=5n
Finally get n all alone by dividing by 5 on both sides.
15%2F5=5n%2F5
3=n
It seems weird and strange at first but once you see that you are just moving things over to a different side it becomes very easy and as you get more into school you do it A LOT more. I hope that this helped
