Answer:

n = 39

Explanation:

To find what n equals, I want to get it alone on one side of the equation.

To do this, I move 13 to the right side of the equation by subtracting 13 from both sides.

13-13=0 so n is the only value on the left side

52-13=39.

You are now left with n = 39

To check that this is right, add 13 to 39. It equals 52, so you know the answer you found is correct.
