To solve this equation, we need to simplify and isolate the variable "n".
First, distribute the -1 to the terms inside the parentheses: 69 + 87 - n = 103
Combine like terms: 156 - n = 103
Next, isolate the variable "n" by subtracting 156 from both sides of the equation: -n = 103 - 156 -n = -53
Multiply both sides by -1 to isolate "n" and make it positive: n = (-1) * (-53) n = 53
So the solution to the equation 69 + (87 - n) = 103 is n = 53.
