Question 84833
Your question seems to be asking to solve for n in the following:

{{{n+(1/8) - 2-(n/3) = (5/6)}}}

The first step to doing this problem is to combine like terms, therefore we would do {{{n-(n/3)}}} and {{{(1/8)-2}} to get the following:

{{{ (2n/3)-(15/8) = (5/6) }}}

Then then need to get n by itself on one side and since right now it is {{{(2n/3}}} we want to get that by itself. To do that, we will add {{{(15/8)}}} to both sides, so the problem turns out to be:

{{{ (2n/3)=(65/24)}}} 

Then, what we can do is cross multiply to get rid of the fractions, so what that means is we would do 24 x 2x and 3x65 . That makes the problem look like:

{{{48n=195}}} 

Finally we divide both sides by 48 to get n by itself, so the problem turns out to be:

 {{{ n =(195/48) }}}
