Step-by-step explanation:

start by writing out the equation

Answer is 11.

Step by step:

4n-3(n+2)=5
Distribute 3 times to n and 2
4n-3n-6=5
Combine like terms
n-6=5
Add 6 to both sides
n=11

4(11)-3(11+2)=5
Do the multiplication
44-3(11+2)=5
Distribute the -3 to the 11 and 2
44-33-6=5
Combine like terms ( subtract 33 from 44 )
11-6=5
Combine like terms ( subtract 6 from 11 )
5=5
