n + 2n + 3n + 4n = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6

[math_celebrity]

n + 2n + 3n + 4n = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6

Solve for n in the equation n + 2n + 3n + 4n = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6

Step 1: Group the n terms on the left hand side:
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4)n = 10n

Step 2: Group the constant terms on the right hand side:
2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 20

Step 3: Form modified equation
10n = + 20

Step 4: Divide each side of the equation by 10
10n/10 = 20/10

n = 2
