Let’s solve each equation one by one. We’ll isolate the variable
n on one side and simplify step by step.
---
1. 3n - 7 = 8
Add 7 to both sides:
→ 3n = 8 + 7 → 3n = 15
Divide both sides by 3:
→ n = 15 ÷ 3 →
n = 5
✔ Check: 3(5) - 7 = 15 - 7 = 8 ✔️
---
2. 34 = 5n + 9
Subtract 9 from both sides:
→ 34 - 9 = 5n → 25 = 5n
Divide both sides by 5:
→ n = 25 5 →
n = 5
✔ Check: 5(5) + 9 = 25 + 9 = 34 ✔️
---
3. -10 = -3n + 5
Subtract 5 from both sides:
→ -10 - 5 = -3n → -15 = -3n
Divide both sides by -3:
→ n = (-15) ÷ (-3) →
n = 5
✔ Check: -3(5) + 5 = -15 + 5 = -10 ✔️
---
4. -5n - 2 = -27
Add 2 to both sides:
→ -5n = -27 + 2 → -5n = -25
Divide both sides by -5:
→ n = (-25) ÷ (-5) →
n = 5
✔ Check: -5(5) - 2 = -25 - 2 = -27 ✔️
---
5. 12n - 18 = 42
Add 18 to both sides:
→ 12n = 42 + 18 → 12n = 60
Divide both sides by 12:
→ n = 60 ÷ 12 →
n = 5
✔ Check: 12(5) - 18 = 60 - 18 = 42 ✔️
---
6. 5n - 6 = -31
Add 6 to both sides:
→ 5n = -31 + 6 → 5n = -25
Divide both sides by 5:
→ n = -25 5 →
n = -5
✔ Check: 5(-5) - 6 = -25 - 6 = -31 ✔️
Wait — this is different! Let me double-check:
Original: 5n - 6 = -31
Add 6: 5n = -25 → n = -5 ✔️ Correct.
But all others were 5? That’s okay — not all have to be same.
Hold on — let’s check problem #6 again in original image context. The user didn’t say they’re all supposed to be same, so we solve as given.
Actually — wait! Looking back at the grid, maybe I misread? No — let’s continue solving all correctly.

7. 25 = -4n + 5
Subtract 5 from both sides:
→ 25 - 5 = -4n → 20 = -4n
Divide both sides by -4:
→ n = 20 (-4) →
n = -5
✔ Check: -4(-5) + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 ✔️
---
8. 6n - 5 = -35
Add 5 to both sides:
→ 6n = -35 + 5 → 6n = -30
Divide both sides by 6:
→ n = -30 ÷ 6 →
n = -5
✔ Check: 6(-5) - 5 = -30 - 5 = -35 ✔️
---
9. 7n + 2 = -33
Subtract 2 from both sides:
→ 7n = -33 - 2 → 7n = -35
Divide both sides by 7:
→ n = -35 ÷ 7 →
n = -5
✔ Check: 7(-5) + 2 = -35 + 2 = -33 ✔️
---
10. 24 = -2n + 14
Subtract 14 from both sides:
→ 24 - 14 = -2n → 10 = -2n
Divide both sides by -2:
→ n = 10 ÷ (-2) →
n = -5
✔ Check: -2(-5) + 14 = 10 + 14 = 24 ✔️
---
So summarizing:
Equations 1–5 → n = 5
Equations 6–10 → n = -5
That’s correct based on calculations.
Final Answer:
The solutions are:
For equations 1 to 5:
n = 5
For equations 6 to 10:
n = -5
