Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

n/-5 = 7

Step 2: Solve for n

1. Multiply both sides by -5:                    n = -35

Step 3: Check

Plug in n into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in n:                    -35/-5 = 7
2. Divide:                                  7 = 7

Here we see that 7 does indeed equal 7.

∴ n = -35 is a solution to the equation.
