D.

Answer 2

thanks :) how did you figure that out?

Answer 3

5n − 8 = 24 is asking what number must n be so that when u multiply it by 5 and minus 8 from it, the result will be 24

another way is to use the balance equation method...
5n − 8 = 24
add 8 to both sides
5n=32
then divide both sides by 5
n=6.4
