Hi
If I am understanding your question properly:
{{{(n+1)/8 - (2-n)/3 = 5/6}}}  |important to use parenthesis
 3(n+1) - 8(2-n) = 20    |Multiplying both sides of the equation by 24
 3n + 3 -16 + 8n = 20    |Note: {{{(5/6)24 = 20}}}
     11n = 33
       n = 3

     4/8  + 1/3 =  12/24 + 8/24 = 20/24 = 5/6
