2n + 10 = 3n + 5 Solve for n in the equation 2n + 10 = 3n + 5 Step 1: Group variables: We need to group our variables 2n and 3n. To do that, we subtract 3n from both sides 2n + 10 - 3n = 3n + 5 - 3n Step 2: Cancel 3n on the right side: -n + 10 = 5 Step 3: Group constants: We need to group our constants 10 and 5. To do that, we subtract 10 from both sides -n + 10 - 10 = 5 - 10 Step 4: Cancel 10 on the left side: -n = -5 Step 5: Divide each side of the equation by -1 -1n/-1 = -5/-1 n = 5
