Question

solve the equation for the indicated variable!
-3 + n = 6n + 22
solve for n.
n =

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract $n$ from both sides

$-3 + n - n = 6n + 22 - n$
$-3 = 5n + 22$

Step2: Subtract 22 from both sides

$-3 - 22 = 5n + 22 - 22$
$-25 = 5n$

Step3: Divide by 5 on both sides

$\frac{-25}{5} = \frac{5n}{5}$
$-5 = n$

Answer:

$n = -5$
