The equestion is, solve for n

Step 1: Cross multiply the equation above to have

$\begin{gathered} (2n-3)/(5)=(5)/(1) \\ 1(2n-3)=5*5 \\ 2n-3=25 \end{gathered}$

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides

$\begin{gathered} 2n-3=25 \\ 2n-3+3=25+3 \\ 2n=28 \end{gathered}$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2

$\begin{gathered} 2n=28 \\ (2n)/(2)=(28)/(2) \\ n=14 \end{gathered}$

Hence,

The value of n = 14
