Since n is unknown, it's impossible to tell what 32-5n is equal to.
If this expression is from a textbook, check to see if the textbook gives a value for n. Some problems will list one or several values for n, and ask you to solve the expression using these values. For example, if one of the numbers listed is 2, substitute 2 for n:
32-5n = 32-5(2) = 32-10 = 22
Repeat the same process for any other values that may be listed.
Or, if 32-5n is part of an equation, simplify the equation as much as possible or simply solve it for the missing variable. For example, if the entire equation is 32-5n = 12, you would solve the equation like so:
32-5n = 12
32 = 12 + 5n
32 - 12 = 5n
20 = 5n
4 = n
Note that neither of these examples is the actual answer. Check to see if either of these suggestions apply to your problem, and solve according to the textbook.
