OpenStudy (anonymous):
move everything to one side, and what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't know but do I add 5 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[-n + 25 =5-n\]
lets add an n to both sides, this gives us
\[-n + n + 25 = 5 - n + n\]
all the n's cancel out, you get
\[25 = 5\]
but we know this is not true, therefore the original problem has its flaws
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not 25 24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that will not change a thing. the result would be
\[24 = 5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which is false
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok but I was just saying
u changed the number in the equation
Still Need Help?

my mistake, so the result would be
\[ -24 = 5\]
can you please copy the question again?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-n-24=5-n
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry to say, but that problem is incorrect. Whoever wrote the problem, is incorrect. the problem does not have a solution.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
does that make sense?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
