Answer 1

$\frac{44}{9}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$n=\frac{-44}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$n-2=10n+42$

Solve the equation for n

To get n alone we combine like terms

Subtract 10n from both sides

$n-2=10n+42$

$n-10n-2=10n-10n+42$

$-9n-2=+42$

Now add 2 on both sides

$-9n=+42+2$

$-9n=44$

Divide both sides by -9

$n=\frac{-44}{9}$
