Well, you got to try different numers to get n. So, just play around wit different numbers and see which one fits correctly

6 times what - 12 is equal to 3 + that number?!

It has to be the same number

Kayley · Answer 2

You just need to use algebra to isolate/find n

6n-12=n+3

+12 + 12

6n=n+15

-n - n

5n=15

- - - - - -

5 5

n=3

Check:

6 (3) - 12=3+3

18-12=6

6=6
