Question

Please help!!!!


`(-2n-2)/(12) = 12`

n=

Answer 1

Hi


`(-2n-2)/(12) = 12 \\ \\ -2n-2 = 12*12 = 144 \\ -2n-2 = 144 \\ -2n = 144+2 \\ -2n = 146 \\ n = (146)/(-2) \\ n = -73`

Answer 2

`(-2n-2)/(12) = 12 \\ \\ (-2(n + 1))/(12) = 12 \ / \ factor \ out \ 2 \\ \\ - (n+1)/(6) = 12 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ -n - 1 = 12 * 6 \ / \ multiply \ each \ side \ by \ 6 \\ \\ -n - 1 = 72 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ -n = 72 + 1 \ / \ add \ 1 \ to \ each \ side \\ \\ -n = 73 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ n = -73 \ / \ multiply \ each \ side \ by \ -1 \\ \\`

So, your answer to this problem is n = -73.
