Answer:

n = (3/8)x+(45/8)

Explanation:

3x+5 = 4(n-5)*(6/3)

Is this written correctly?

3x+5 = 4(n-5)*(6/3)

3x+5 = 8(n-5) [Simplify: {4*(6/3) = 8)]

3x+5 = 8n-40 [Expand the parentheses]

8n-40 = 3x+5 [Rearrange]

8n = 3x+5 + 40 [Rearrange]

8n = 3x+45 [Simplify]

n = (3x+45)/8 [Divide both sides by 8]

n = (3/8)x+(45/8) [Rearrange]
