    n + 2n + 3n + 4n = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6

    Solve for n in the equation n + 2n + 3n + 4n = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6

    Step 1: Group the n terms on the left hand side:
    (1 + 2 + 3 + 4)n = 10n

    Step 2: Group the constant terms on the right hand side:
    2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 20

    Step 3: Form modified equation
    10n = + 20

    Step 4: Divide each side of the equation by 10
    10n/10 = 20/10

    n = 2
