3n - 5p + 2n = 10p

Since we are solving for n, you want to have all the terms containing the variable n on the left side of the equation and everything else on the right side.

Let's do this by adding 5p to both sides.

3n + 2n = 10p + 5p

Now combine like terms.

5n = 15p

Divide both sides by 5 since we are solving for the variable n.

n = 3p
