(3n)-2=5
Move all numbers without a variable to the right side of the equation
3n=7
Divide 7 by 3
n=2.333
well, putting the movie in fifths, she watched 3/5, the whole movie will be 5/5 = 1.

To solve for x just isolate x by moving the other variables so....:
First add c to both sides
g+c= y+x
Subtract y from both sides
g+c-y= x
That should be your final answer (we cannot come up with an actual digit for x because there are no numbers in this equation we simply can make an equation for x)
Answer:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's 3
