Answer:
n=13

Subtract 5 from both sides


7n+5-5=96-5\\7n=91

Divide both sides by 7


7n/7=91/7\\x=13

Answer:

n = 13

Explanation:

7n + 5 = 96

Subtract 5 from both sides to get rid of the 5 on the right side:

7n + 5 - 5 = 96 - 5

7n = 91

Divide both sides by 7 to get rid of the coefficient of n:

7n / 7 = 91 / 7

n = 13
