3\times 6=n-5-1
Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3n, the least common multiple of n,3n.
18=n-5-1
Multiply 3 and 6 to get 18.
18=n-6
Subtract 1 from -5 to get -6.
n-6=18
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
n=18+6
Add 6 to both sides.
n=24
Add 18 and 6 to get 24.
