What is the value of n in the equation 1 half times open paren n minus 4 close paren minus 3 is equal to 3 minus open paren 2 n plus 3 close paren ?

Distribute the one-half on the left: (1/2)(n − 4) − 3 = n/2 − 5. Simplify the right side: 3 − (2n + 3) = −2n. Then n/2 − 5 = −2n, so adding 2n and 5 gives (5/2)n = 5, and n = 2. The correct choice is B, n is equal to 2.
