    10n - 9n + 8n - 7n + 6n = 10 - 9 + 8 - 7 + 6

    Solve for n in the equation 10n - 9n + 8n - 7n + 6n = 10 - 9 + 8 - 7 + 6

    Step 1: Group the n terms on the left hand side:
    (10 - 9 + 8 - 7 + 6)n = 8n

    Step 2: Group the constant terms on the right hand side:
    10 - 9 + 8 - 7 + 6 = 8

    Step 3: Form modified equation
    8n = + 8

    Step 4: Divide each side of the equation by 8
    8n/8 = 8/8

    n = 1
