-7%285-n%29=3%28n%2B8%29%2B1 Start with the given equation.



-35%2B7n=3n%2B24%2B1 Distribute.



-35%2B7n=3n%2B25 Combine like terms on the right side.



7n=3n%2B25%2B35 Add 35 to both sides.



7n-3n=25%2B35 Subtract 3n from both sides.



4n=25%2B35 Combine like terms on the left side.



4n=60 Combine like terms on the right side.



n=%2860%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate n.



n=15 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is n=15
