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#
