5\left(3n+2\right)=3\left(12+5\right)
Variable n cannot be equal to -\frac{2}{3} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3\left(3n+2\right), the least common multiple of 3,3n+2.
15n+10=3\left(12+5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 3n+2.
15n+10=3\times 17
Add 12 and 5 to get 17.
15n+10=51
Multiply 3 and 17 to get 51.
15n=51-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
15n=41
Subtract 10 from 51 to get 41.
n=\frac{41}{15}
Divide both sides by 15.
