Answer: 0.3333 or 1/3

Explanation:

You have to isolate the variable to start the question you have to get rid of any unneeded numbers on the side of the equal sign the variable is on, so you have to subtract 5 from the positive 5 and the 6. So the equation is now 3n=1, but you have to isolate the variable, and since you have to do the opposite operation, so since 3 and n are multiplying you have to divide them, and what you do to one side you do to the other so you go 3/3 and 1/3 to get n=1/3 or 0.33
