Answer 1

The solution to your previous question applies here as well:

So we have the equation

$2n+1=5$

We want to solve for $n$, and so we want $n$ on one side of the equation and a number on the other, so we isolate $n$.

First, subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.

$2n+1-1=5-1$

Simplify

$2n=4$

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 2.

$\dfrac{2n}{2}= \dfrac{4}{2}$

$n=2$

n = 2 is our final answer.

Answer 2

Solve for n:
2 n + 1 = 5

Subtract 1 from both sides:
2 n + (1 - 1) = 5 - 1

1 - 1 = 0:
2 n = 5 - 1

5 - 1 = 4:
2 n = 4

Divide both sides of 2 n = 4 by 2:
(2 n)/2 = 4/2

2/2 = 1:
n = 4/2

The gcd of 4 and 2 is 2, so 4/2 = (2×2)/(2×1) = 2/2×2 = 2:
Answer:  n = 2
