Answer:

N=4

Explanation:

Simplifying

3 + 4n + n = 2n + 15

Combine like terms: 4n + n = 5n

3 + 5n = 2n + 15

Reorder the terms:

3 + 5n = 15 + 2n

Solving

3 + 5n = 15 + 2n

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2n' to each side of the equation.

3 + 5n + -2n = 15 + 2n + -2n

Combine like terms: 5n + -2n = 3n

3 + 3n = 15 + 2n + -2n

Combine like terms: 2n + -2n = 0

3 + 3n = 15 + 0

3 + 3n = 15

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + 3n = 15 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + 3n = 15 + -3

3n = 15 + -3

Combine like terms: 15 + -3 = 12

3n = 12

Divide each side by '3'.

n = 4

Simplifying

n = 4

Answer:

n = 4

Explanation:

3 + 4n + n = 2n +15

3 + 5n = 2n + 15

5n - 2n = 15 - 3

3n = 12

n = 12 / 3

= 4
