Answer:

n = 7

Explanation:

Given


(1)/(3)(n + 1) =
(1)/(6)(3n - 5)

Multiply both sides by 6 to clear the fractions.

6 being the lowest common multiple of 3 and 6

2(n + 1) = 3n - 5 ← distribute left side

2n + 2 = 3n - 5 ( subtract 2n from bot sides )

2 = n - 5 ( add 5 to both sides )

7 = n
