8n −2(n+5) = −3 + 6n

First Step: Simplify both sides of the equation

(Distribute) 8n + (-2)(n) + (-2)(5) = -3 + 62

8n + -2n + -10 = -3 + 6n

(Combine like terms) (8n + −2n) + (−10) = 6n − 3

6n + −10 = 6n − 3

6n − 10 = 6n − 3

Step 2: Subtract 6n from both sides

6n − 10 − 6n = 6n − 3 − 6n

-10 = -3

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides

-10 + 10 = -3 + 10
