Question

Can anyone help me with this question? Thanks!

Answer 1

Answer:

n=8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. rearrange terms

-41 = - 1 - 5n

-41 = -5n - 1

2. add 1 to both sides of the equation

-41=-5n-1

-41+1=-5n-1+1

3.simplify

a.add the numbers

-41+1=-5n-1+1

-40=-5n-1+1

b. add the numbers

-40=-5n-1+1

-40=-5n

4. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

-40=-5n

-40/-5=-5n/-5

5. simplify

a. divide the numbers

-40/-5=-5n/-5

8=-5n/-5

b. cancel terms that are both in the numerator and denominator

u=-5n/-5

8=n

c. move the variable to the left

8=n

n=8

Answer 2

Answer is n=8.

Step by step:

1) Add 1 on both sides (To isolate the variable, n)

-40 = -5n

2) Divide both sides by -5

-40/-5 = n

3) 2 negatives makes a positive and 40/5 is 8 so n is equal to 8

n=8
