Answer:

Divide both sides by-2

Use the distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divided both sides by -2, you would get n + 3 = -6.5. Then you would have to subtract 3 from both sides, so n would be -9.5.

However, if you used the distributive property, you would get -2n - 6 = 13. Then you could add 6 to both sides and get -2n = 19. Finally, to solve for n, you would divide both sides by -2 to get n = -9.5.

Hope this helps!
