Solve n:

1. Use distributive property:

2. Combine like terms:

3. Substract 3n in both sides of the equation:

$\begin{gathered} 2n-3n-12=3n-3n-3 \\ -n-12=-3 \end{gathered}$

4. Add 12 in both sides of the equation

$\begin{gathered} -n-12+12=-3+12 \\ -n=9 \end{gathered}$

5. Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1):

$\begin{gathered} (-1)(-n)=(-1)(9) \\ n=-9 \end{gathered}$ Then, the valuye of n taht makes the equation true is -9
