The answer is

n = 4.67n=4.67

Explanation:

13n - 16 = 7n +1213n16=7n+12

13n =7n +12 +1613n=7n+12+16

13n - 7n = 12 + 1613n7n=12+16

6n = 286n=28

n = 28 / 6n=286

n =14/3n=143

So

n = 4.bar(6)n=4.¯6

Round it up to,

n = 4.67n=4.67

n=14/3n=143

Explanation:

"collect terms in n on the left side of the equation and "collect terms in n on the left side of the equation and
"numeric values on the right side"numeric values on the right side

"subtract "7n" from both sides"subtract 7n from both sides

13n-7n-16=cancel(7n)cancel(-7n)+12

6n-16=12

"add 16 to both sides"

6n=28

"divide both sides by 6"

(cancel(6) n)/cancel(6)=28/6

n=28/6=14/3
