Explanation:

Step 1: Define

1/3(5n - 1) = 2(1 - n) + 1/5n

Step 2: Solve for n

  1. Distribute: 5/3n - 1/3 = 2 - 2n + 1/5n
  2. Combine like terms: 5/3n - 1/3 = 2 - 9/5n
  3. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 9/5n to both sides: 52/15n - 1/3 = 2
  4. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 1/3 on both sides: 52/15n = 7/3
  5. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 52/15 on both sides: n = 35/52
