For this case we must find the value of n of the following equation:
Taking common factor "n" from the left side of the equation we have:
Multiplying by 5 on both sides of the equation:
Dividing between 6 on both sides of the equation:
Thus, the value of n is 20.

If you're drawing the graph by hand, there are a couple of strategies that can be useful.
The first equation is almost in slope-intercept form. Dividing it by 2 will put it in that form:
y = 2x -4
This tells you that the y-intercept, (0, -4) is a point on the graph, as is the point that is up 2 and right 1 from there: (1, -2). A line through those points completes the graph.

The second equation is in standard form, so the x- and y-intercepts are easily found. One way to do that is to divide by the constant on the right to get ...
x/2 +y/3 = 1
The denominators of the x-term and the y-term are the x-intercept and the y-intercept, respectively. If that is too mind-bending, you can simply set x=0 to find the y-intercept:
0 +2y = 6
y = 6/2 = 3
and set y=0 to find the x-intercept
3x +0 = 6
x = 6/3 = 2
Plot the intercepts and draw the line through them for the graph of this equation.

Here, we have suggested graphing strategies that don't involve a lot of manipulation of the equations. The idea is to get there as quickly as possible with a minimum of mistakes.
