\textsf{Hey there!}


\mathsf{(3)/(5)n +15=10+(2)/(5)n}


\mathsf{\bf{SUBTRACT}\ \mathsf{by\ (2)/(5)n\ from\ both\ of\ your\ sides}}


\mathsf{Like: (3)/(5)n+15-(2)/(5)n=(2)/(5)n+10-(2)/(5)n}


\mathsf{\bf{CANCEL: (3)/(5)+(2)/(5)}}\textsf{out\ because that gives you\ 1}


\textsf{Solve\ the set we have left over}


\mathsf{Our\ new\ equation\ becomes: (1)/(5)n+15=10}


\mathsf{\bf{SUBTRACT}}\textsf{ by 15 on both of your sides}


\mathsf{(1)/(5)n+15-15=10-15}


\mathsf{Cancel\ out: 15-15\ because\ that\gives\ you\ 0 }


\mathsf{Keep: 10-15\ because\ it\ helps\ us\ solve\ for\ your\ n }


\mathsf{10-15=-5}


\mathsf{New\ equation: (1)/(5)n=-5}


\mathsf{\bf{MULTIPLY}\mathsf{\ both\ sides\ by\ 5}}


\mathsf{(1)/(5)n*5=5*-5}


\mathsf{Cancel\ out\ (1)/(5)*5 \ because \ it \ gives \ us \ 1}
\mathsf{Keep: 5* -5\ because\ it\gives\ us\ the\ value\ of\ your\ n}


\mathsf{n =5*-5}\\\mathsf{5*-5 = -25}


\textsf{Thus, \underline{\bf{n = -25}}}\checkmark


\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{Thus,\ your\ answer\ is: \boxed{\boxed{\bf{n =-25}}}}}}\checkmark


\textsf{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
