not sure how to do this

41 - 2(n) = 2 + n ?
41 -2n = 2 + n
-3n = 2 - 41
-3n = - 39
n = -39/-3
n =+13
CHECK:
SUBSTITUTE n = +13 in
41 -2n = 2+ n
41 -2(13) = 2 +13
41- 26 = 15
therefore n = 13
ANSWER IS 13

41 - 2(n)= 2 + n
distribute
41 - 2n = 2 + n
add 2n to both sides
41 = 2 + 3n
subtract 2
39=3n
divide by 3
n= 13

41 - 2n = 2 + n
41 - 2n + 2n = 2 + n + 2n
41 - 2 = 2 - 2 + 3n
3n = 39
n = 13
Hope this helps!
