8n-%282n-3%29=12 Start with the given equation.


8n-2n%2B3=12 Distribute.


6n%2B3=12 Combine like terms on the left side.


6n=12-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


6n=9 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%289%29%2F%286%29 Divide both sides by 6 to isolate n.


n=3%2F2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is n=3%2F2
