Question

If m=-2,then what is n in this equation ​

Answer 1

n=-1

Explanation:

Plug in m=-2 into the given equation and solve

5(-2 - n) =5n

Distribute the 5 to the -2 and -n

-10-5n=5n

Isolate the variable to one side by adding 5n to the right side of the equation.

-10=10n

Isolate the variable by dividing by 10 on both sides.

-1 = n
