Question 793967
{{{5n-2=n+18}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5n=n+18+2}}} Add {{{2}}} to both sides.



{{{5n-n=18+2}}} Subtract {{{n}}} from both sides.



{{{4n=18+2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4n=20}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{n=(20)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{4}}} to isolate {{{n}}}.



{{{n=5}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{n=5}}}
