Assuming that we are solving in terms of n.
Start by distributing:
2(n + 5)
(2*n) + (5*2)
2n + 10 = -2
Subtract 10 to start toward isolating your variable:
2n = -12
Divide by two to finish solving:
n = -6
A coefficient multiplies a variable. The 5 is a coefficient.
A variable is a letter that stands for a number. The x is a variable.
A base is a number that is raised to an exponent. The 2 is a base.
An exponent is what you raise a base to. The 3 is an exponent.

The probability that the train will be there when Alex arrives is 5/18
If Alex arrives at any time after 1.20pm the chances that train will be there is 1/3.
However if alex arrives at 1.00pm exactly there is no chance the train will be arrive there.
The probability that the train will be there increase linearly to 1/3 as alex's arrival time moves from 1.00pm to 1.20pm.
By arranging the probabilities over the first 20 minutes to get a 1/6 chance the train will be there if alex arrives between 1.00pm to 1.20pm
we get the final answer by
=1/3( 1/6 + 1/3 + 1/3)
=5/18
So, the probability that the train will be there when Alex arrives is 5/18
