Answer: n = 31.66666667

Explanation:

Add '-12n' to each side of the equation.

500 + -12n = 120 + 12n + -12n

Combine like terms: 12n + -12n = 0

500 + -12n = 120 + 0

500 + -12n = 120

Add '-500' to each side of the equation.

500 + -500 + -12n = 120 + -500

Combine like terms: 500 + -500 = 0

0 + -12n = 120 + -500

-12n = 120 + -500

Combine like terms: 120 + -500 = -380

-12n = -380

Divide each side by '-12'.

n = 31.66666667

Simplifying

n = 31.66666667
