Question

16-2n-5+8n=65
Can you help me solve this please and show work as well?

Answer 1

16-2n-5+8n=65 16-2n-5+8n=65
-2n+8n=65-16+5
6n=54
n=54/6
n=9

Answer 2

∙•❁ Okay time to solve this Step-By-Step.❁•∙

16−2n−5+8n=65

∙•❁ So the first part we need to Simplify both sides of this equation, so:

16−2n−5+8n=65

∙•❁ We are going to simplify this Step-By-Step.

16−2n−5+8n=65

16+−2n+−5+8n=65

∙•❁ Combine like terms:

(−2n+8n)+(16+−5)=65

6n+11=65

6n+11=65

∙•❁ Now subtract 11 from both sides.

6n+11−11=65−11

6n=54

∙•❁ Now divide both sides by 6 and you'll get your answer:

6n/6=54/6

∙•❁ Your final answer is:

n=9
