Question

6) 2(n + 5) = -2 help i wasn’t paying attention in my google meet

Answer 1

Answer: the answer is -6

2(n+5) = -2

2n + 10 = -2

2n = -2 - 10

2n = -12

2n *1/2 = -12 * 1/2 = -6

n = -6

Answer 2

Answer: n = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute 2 into (n = 5). 2n + 10 = -2.
2. Subtract 10 on both sides. 2n = -12.
3. Divide by 2 on both sides. n = -6.

                    or ...

1. Divide both sides of the equation by 2. n + 5 = -1
2. Subtract 5 on both sides. n = - 6
