Well, that's pretty complicated, and we're a little rusty,
but we'll give it a try.
The "answer" is the number that 'n' has to be in order to make it true.
2n - 5 = 7
Add 5 to each side of the equation:
2n = 12
Divide each side by 2:
n = 6

in algebra, if what you do to one side of the equation you do to the other side you do not change things and you can solve for the unknown 2n-5 = 7 add 5 to BOTH sides 2n-5 + 5 = 7 + 5 2n = 12 Divide BOTH sides by 2 n = 6
42 = 2n + 7Subtract 7 from each side of the equation:35 = 2nDivide each side by 2:17.5 = n
2n + 19 = -7 2n = -7 - 19 2n = -26 n= -13
If 'n' is 8, then (2n - 7) is 9 .
2n - 7 = 5n - 10subtract 2n from each side- 7 = 3n - 10add 10 to each side3 = 3ndivide both sides integers by 31 = n=======check in original equation2(1) - 7 = 5(1) - 102 - 7 = 5 - 10- 5 = - 5========checks
