Explanation:
Given
Step 1 : Using distributive property of make the equation simpler
6n +48 = 7n -42 + 5
Step 2 : Combine like terms
6n +48 = 7n - 37
Step 3 Let's isolate the variable, using the additive property like so
6n + 48 color(red)(-6n) = 7n - 37 color(red)(-6n)
48 = n -37
48 color(blue)(+37) = n -37 color(blue)(+37)
85 = n
