Question 648261
Well, first let's make this an equation. So, {{{3(n+6)=n+5}}}

Now, we'll distribute {{{3n+18=n+5}}}
Next, combine like terms {{{3n-n+18=n-n+5}}}
So after you subtract n from both sides you get {{{2n+18=5}}}
Subtract 18 from both sides {{{2n+18-18=5-18}}}
Which is {{{2n=-13}}}
Finally, you divide both sides by 2 and get {{{n=-6.5}}}
