n+6-\left(n-1\right)=n-5
Variable n cannot be equal to any of the values -6,5 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(n-5\right)\left(n+6\right), the least common multiple of n-5,n^{2}+n-30,n+6.
n+6-n+1=n-5
To find the opposite of n-1, find the opposite of each term.
6+1=n-5
Combine n and -n to get 0.
7=n-5
Add 6 and 1 to get 7.
n-5=7
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
n=7+5
Add 5 to both sides.
n=12
Add 7 and 5 to get 12.
