There are several methods you could use, to solve this problem. I'll show you ONE way :)
Working:
- We need to expand the brackets first.
Thus,
multiply 2/3 to each term in side the bracket.
2 × n = 2n then divide 2n to the denominator.
2n ÷ 3 becomes, 2/3n.
Following same method:
2 × -6 = -12
-12 ÷ 3 = -4
Answer for the expanded form is; 2/3n - 4 = 5n - 43.
From here, you need to place the like terms on one side of the equation.
So,
2/3n - 5n = -43 + 4
-13/3n = -39
Then divide the coefficent (-13/3) on both sides.
n = 9
I'll upload a picture of my workings. It cuts of the question, but that's fine, you can still see the working out. Chur
Hope this makes sense :)

- x+2
- x+5
- 2x+3
Opposite sides must be equal
Let's check once
Find sides now
- 10in
- 2+2=4in
- 2+5=7in
- 2(2)+3=4+3=7in
One pair of opposite sides are equal but others not .
