Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be an equation and so therefore there is no solution.

Previous poster was very wrong, 5n-3=17 5n=20 n=4
n-5 is an expression, it cannot be a solution. Furthermore, there are infinitely many possible equations for which n = 5 could be a solution - even with the added requirements of the question.
If the question is, "What is the solution to 2n2 + 6n - 108 = 0 ?"The equation can be factored : 2n2 + 6n - 108 = (2n - 12)(n + 9) = 0If 2n -12 = 0 then n = 6If n + 9 = 0 then n = -9The roots of this equation are n = 6 and n = -9.
It's an equation in 'N' ... about the simplest one you could write.The solution of that equation is: N=0 .
N = 1
