Question

-16+5n=-7(-6+8n)+3

what is the work for this ?? this is the like only one i cant get

Answer 1

-16 + 5n = -7(-6 + 8n) + 3 Given
-16 + 5n = 42 - 56n + 3 Distribute
-16 + 5n = 45 - 56n Collect like terms
61n = 61 Add 56n to the left side and add 16 to the right side
n = 1 Divide 61 from both sides

The answer is n = 1. Remember that when you have a number beside two or more numbers in parentheses, you have to distribute, or multiply the number outside the parentheses by each number inside the parentheses.

Hope this helps!
