Answer 1

The answer is n=-3.

negative three

Answer 2

ANSWER

$n = - 3$


EXPLANATION

We have the equation,

$11(n - 1) + 35 = 3n$


We expand the brackets to obtain,



$11n - 11+ 35 = 3n$



We simplify the constant terms to obtain,


$11n + 24 = 3n$



We now group the constant terms on one side of the equation and the variable terms on the other side.



$11n - 3n = - 24$


We simplify to obtain,

$8n = - 24$


We divide both sides of the equation to get,


$n = -3$

Hence the correct answer is B.
