$n = \frac{26}{5}$ $n=26/5$

$3 n + 7 \div 5 = 17$ $3n+7-:5=17$

Divide $7$ $7$ by $5$ $5$ first.

$3 n + \frac{7}{5} = 17$ $3n+7/5=17$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $5$ $5$ .

$5 \cdot 3 n + 5 \cdot \frac{7}{5} = 17 \cdot 5$ $5*3n+5*7/5=17*5$ =

$5*3n+cancel5*7/cancel5=17*5$ =

$15n+7=85$

Subtract $7$ from both sides of the equation.

$15n=85-7$ =

$15n=78$

Divide both sides by $15$ .

$n=78/15$

Simplify $78/15$ to $26/5$ .

$n=26/5$
