Answer:

n-20

--------

3a

Explanation:

(3ax - n)/5 = -4

The first step is to multiply each side by 5 to get rid of the fraction

(3ax - n)/5 * 5= -4* 5

3ax - n = -20

Then we need to add n to each side.

3ax -n+n = -20+n

3ax = n-20

Divide each side by 3a to isolate x

3ax/3a = (n-20)/3a

x = (n-20)/(3a)
