Solve for n -17+12n=18-16+11n

$- 17 + 12 n = 18 - 16 + 11 n$

Step 1

Subtract $16$ from $18$ .

$- 17 + 12 n = 2 + 11 n$

Step 2

Move all terms containing $n$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $11 n$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 17 + 12 n - 11 n = 2$

Subtract $11 n$ from $12 n$ .

$- 17 + n = 2$

Step 3

Move all terms not containing $n$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $17$ to both sides of the equation.

$n = 2 + 17$

Add $2$ and $17$ .

$n = 19$
