<PRE><B>Question 226434</B>
{{{14+5n=4n+17}}}


Step 1.  Get only numbers on one side and variables only on the other side using the following steps.


Step 2. Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation 


{{{14+5n-14=4n+17-14}}}


{{{5n=4n+3}}}


Step 3.  Subtract 4n from both sides to finally get only numbers on one side and variables only on the other side.


{{{5n-4n=4n+13-4n}}}


{{{n=3}}}


Step 4.  Check solution and substitute {{{n=3}}} into original equation {{{14+5n=4n+17}}}.


{{{14+5*3=4*3+17}}}


{{{29=29}}} which is a true statement


Step 5.  ANSWER:  Solution is  {{{n=3}}}


I hope the above steps were helpful.
