Solve the equation:

\[ n + 6 = 8 \]

Subtract 6 from both sides:

\[ n + 6 - 6 = 8 - 6 \]

Therefore,

\[ n = \_ \]

Fill in the blank to complete the solution.

n + 6 = 8 * :Subtract 6 from both sides*
n + 6 - 6 = 8 - 6 * :The problem already subtracted 6 from, the left so all you have to do is the right*
n = 2

To solve n + 6 = 8 , subtract 6 from both sides to isolate n . This gives us n = 2 . The solution is verified by substituting n back into the original equation.
