Due to Associative rule of addition and multiplication, ‘n’ will be the missing number which is not present on the RHS , but on the LHS

Logical way :
(4 + 8) + 6 = (6 + 4) + n

Switch RHS to LHS
(6 + 4) + n = (4 + 8) + 6

Add in the brackets
10 + n = 12 + 6

Solve RHS
10 + n = 18

Subtract 10 in both sides
10 + n - 10 = 18 - 10
n = 8

Hope it helps!
