To solve the equation n/4 - 5 = n/6 + 12, we can start by getting rid of the fractions by multiplying every term by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which in this case is 12.

12 * (n/4) - 12 * 5 = 12 * (n/6) + 12 * 12

3n - 60 = 2n + 144

Next, we can simplify the equation by combining like terms:

3n - 2n = 144 + 60

n = 204

Therefore, the solution to the equation is n = 204.
