n=6

Explanation:

first, combine like terms

color(red)(15n)+16+color(red)(4n)=130

color(red)(19n)+16=130

then, subtract 16 from each side

19n+16color(red)(-16)=130color(red)(-16)

19n=114

finally, divide both sides by 19

(19n)/color(red)(19)=114/color(red)19

(cancel(19)n)/cancel(19)=114/19

n=114/19

n=6

n = 6

Explanation:

15n + 16 + 4n = 130

Start by simplifying the equation

19n + 16 = 130

Subtract 16 from both sides

19n + 16 - 16 = 130 - 16

19n = 114

Divide both sides by 19

(19n)/19 = 114/19
