    Answer / explanation:

    The oxidation number of N2O3

    The oxidation number of O = - 2

    The oxidation number of N = x

    Since there are 2 moles of N

    And 3 moles of O

    Therefore,

    2 * x + (-2 * 3) = 0

    2x + (-6) = 0

    + * - = -

    2x - 6 = 0

    Find x, divide both sides by 2

    2x = 6

    2x / 2 = 6/2

    2 cancels 2

    x = + 3

    The negative or positive sign is very important, so it must be added.
