∙•❁ 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+1111=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

∙•❁I hope this helps!❁•∙
