$n = - 8$ $n=-8$

We have to isolate the variable $n$ $n$ on one side and the constants on the other. To start, subtract $2 n$ $2n$ from both sides:

$- 3 = 3 n - 2 n + 5$ $-3=3n-2n+5$

$- 3 = n + 5$ $-3=n+5$

Now subtract $5$ $5$ from both sides:

$- 3 - 5 = n$ $-3-5=n$

$n = - 8$ $n=-8$

Hope this helps!
