Answer:
n=-7
Explanation:
To find n, we need to get n by itself.
−3(n + 5) = 6
-3 and n+5 are being multiplied. To undo this, divide both sides by -3
−3(n + 5)/-3= 6/-3
n+5= -2
5 is being added to n. To undo this, subtract 5 from both sides
n+5-5= -2-5
n= -7
Let's check if -7 is correct. Substitute -7 in for n
-3(-7+5)=6
Add inside the parentheses
-3(-2)=6
Multiply
6=6
So, n=-7 is correct
