$\rm {8n + 3 - 6n \over 2} = {8n \over 2} + {3\over 2} - {6n \over 2}$

does the /2 apply to the entire expression or just the 6n?

@vipul92 Better to write $$\rm 8n + 3 - 3n$$

vipul collect like terms to get 10n+6/2 then factor out a two to get in simplest terms 5n+2

if the other way then @ParthKohli still needs to collect like terms to simplify his answer to get n+(3/2)

then simply divide each expression by two to get 4n+(3/2)-3n then collect like terms n + (3/2) you can also switch the steps if you want.
