2n + 1 = n + 10

Solve for n in the equation 2n + 1 = n + 10

Step 1: Group variables:
We need to group our variables 2n and n. To do that, we subtract n from both sides
2n + 1 - n = n + 10 - n

Step 2: Cancel n on the right side:
n + 1 = 10

Step 3: Group constants:
We need to group our constants 1 and 10. To do that, we subtract 1 from both sides
n + 1 - 1 = 10 - 1

Step 4: Cancel 1 on the left side:
n = 9
