Question

Please solve for n and show your work. \frac{1}{3}" alt=" \frac{1}{3}" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">(n+15)=-2

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{3} (n + 15) = -2$

First, replace the numerator with the parentheses.
$\frac{n+15}{3} =-2$
Second, multiply both sides by 3.
$n + 15 = -2 * 3$
Third, multiply 2 × 3 to get 6.
$n + 15 = -6$
Fourth, take away 15 from each side.
$n = -6 - 15$
Fifth, simplify -6 - 15 to get -21.
$n = -21$

Answer: n = -21
