Question

3n - 5=-8 (6+5n) what is the answer

Answer 1

1. Simplify on the right side

$3n - 5 = -48 - 40n$

2. Add '40n' to both sides

$3n + 40n - 5 = -48 - 40n + 40n$

$43n - 5 = -48$

3. Add '5' to both sides

$43n - 5 + 5 = -48 + 5$

$43n = -43$

4. Divide '43' to both sides

$\frac{43n}{43} = \frac{-43}{43}$

$n = -1$

Answer 2

3n-5=-8 (6+5n)
3n/3= (53+40n)/3. 
     N= 17 2/3+ 13 1/3
