3\left(2n-5\right)+8=5n-9
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3,6.
6n-15+8=5n-9
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2n-5.
6n-7=5n-9
Add -15 and 8 to get -7.
6n-7-5n=-9
Subtract 5n from both sides.
n-7=-9
Combine 6n and -5n to get n.
n=-9+7
Add 7 to both sides.
n=-2
Add -9 and 7 to get -2.
