The answer is $6 n$ $6n$ .

$n + 5 n$ $n + 5n$

All you have to do is combine the terms, since they are like terms.

There is actually a $1$ $1$ in front of the first term. But since it's a 1, we don't usually write it.

$1 n + 5 n$ $1n + 5n$

Just add $1 + 5$ $1+5$ and then put $n$ $n$ .

$1 n + 5 n = 6 n$ $1n + 5n = 6n$

So, $n + 5 n = 6 n$ $n + 5n = 6n$ .
