Answer

$n=6$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow n+5n+7=43$ Combine like terms. $\Rightarrow 6n+7=43$ Subtract $7$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 6n+7-7=43-7$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 6n=36$ Divide each side by $6$. $\Rightarrow \frac{6n}{6}=\frac{36}{6}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow n=6$ Check:- $\Rightarrow n+5n+7=43$ $\Rightarrow 6n+7=43$ $\Rightarrow 6(6)+7=43$ $\Rightarrow 36+7=43$ $\Rightarrow 43=43$ True. Hence, the solution is $n=6$.
