Answer:
N=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation involving N
(1/3)N+8=18-(1/2)N
We want to clear the denominator to start with by multiplying everything on both side by 6
2N+48=108-3N
Move all the N's to one side and the number to the opposite
5N=60
Divide by 5
N=12
Check:
(1/3)12+8=18-(1/2)12
4+8=18-6
12=12
