What value of $n$ satisfies $5n - 8 = 17$ ?

Add $8$ to both sides: $5n = 25$ . Divide both sides by $5$ : $n = 5$ .

Mid-gameeasy

Solve for $x$ : $6x - 1 = 17$ .

Subtract $-1$ from both sides: $6x = 18$ . Divide by $6$ : $x = 3$ .

Mid-gameeasy

Solve for $x$ : $x + 5 = -3$ .

Subtract 5 from both sides: $x = -8$ .
