Hopefully this helps. If not, ask questions!

Answer 2

5n + 7 = 7(n+1) - 2n

First distribute 7 to all terms inside the parenthesis

7(n) = 7n
7(1) = 7

5n + 7 = 7n - 2n + 7

Simplify. Combine like terms

5n + 7 = 5n + 7

True.

If you want to continue:

Isolate the n, move all variables to one side, and constants to the other

5n (-5n) + 7 (-7) = 5n (-5n) + 7 (-7)

0 = 0

True
