i rewrote the problem, except i solved for what was within the parenthesis. since the 5 was on the outside, i multiplied the 5 by everything inside the parenthesis

so you get n+5n-5=7

Answer 9

but we still have to solve

Answer 10

so then you add like terms:
n+5n=6n
then you bring the 5 to the other side to join the 7, and you use inverse operations. So then its
6n=7+5
6n=12
n=2
