To solve for N, we'll start by isolating N on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation:

24 = 3(n - 5)

Expanding the parentheses:

24 = 3n - 15

Adding 15 to both sides of the equation:

24 + 15 = 3n

39 = 3n

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3:

39 / 3 = 3n / 3

13 = n

Therefore, N = 13.
