Answer:

n = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we begin by setting up the equation. Tripling n and adding 10 looks like: 3n + 10. The result can be set up looking like 7n-2 since it is two less (-2) than seven times n (7n). Then we put it together in an equation:

3n+10 = 7n-2

    +2         +2

3n+12 = 7n

-3n       -3n

12 = 4n

/4    /4

3 = n or n = 3
