Ok start by using the distributive property

Divide each term in the equation by 3.

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

2n−m=5m/3 Since −m does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding m to both sides. 2n=m+5m/3 Simplify the right-hand side of the equation. 2n=8m/3 Divide each term in the equation by 2. n=4m/3 is your answer
