How do you solve #5n - 6= 39#? Algebra Linear Equations Two-Step Equations and Properties of Equality 1 Answer Marcus H. · Stefan V. Nov 1, 2017 #n= 9# Explanation: First, you have to zero out the #-6# by adding #6#, but you also have to add #6# to #39#, leaving you with #5n=45# Then you divide #5n# by #5# to isolate #n# and then you divide #45# by #5#, and you get #n=9# Answer link Related questions How do you solve two step equations?
