Step 1
Given:
n4+n+32=2n53
Here given problem contains an equal sign therefore it is an equation and we have to solve it.
Here,
Least common multiple(LCM) of (4,2,3) is 12
Step 2
Now multiply by 12 on both the sides
n4(12)+n+32(12)=2n53(12)
3n+6(n+3)=4(2n5)
3n+6n+18=8n20
9n+18=8n20
Now subtract 8n from both the sides we get,
9n+188n=8n208n
n+18=20
Now subtract 18n from both the sides we get,
n+1818=2018
n=38
