The is going to be infinite answers
3 + 5(c + 3) = -17
First, subtract 3 from both sides. / Your problem should look like:
Second, simplify -17 - 3 to get -20. / Your problem should look like:
Third, divide both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like:
Fourth, simplify

to 4. / Your problem should look like:
Fifth, subtract 3 from both sides. / Your problem should look like:
Sixth, simplify -4 - 3 to get -7. / Your problem should look like:

Answer:
c = -7
Answer:
1, -6 and -5
Explanation:
To solve the equation means to get the values of n which satisfy the given equation.
The equation given is:
(n-1) (n+6) (n+5) = 0
This equation will be true if any of the terms (brackets) is equal to zero.
This means that:
either n-1 = 0 .............> n = 1
or n + 6 = 0 ................> n = -6
or n + 5 = 0 ................> n = -5
Hope this helps :)
I'm not really sure what I'm looking at... is it possible for you to take a better picture so I can look at the diagram if there is one + the rest of the steps?
