3/10 n-3 1/5=-1 1/5
convert mixed numbers to a improper fractions:3 1/5=16/5

(3)/(10)n- (16)/(5)=-1* (1)/(5)
convert mixed numbers to a improper fractions:1 1/5=6/5

(3)/(10)n- (16)/(5)=- (6)/(5)
add 16/5 to both sides

(3)/(10)- (16)/(5)+ (16)/(5)=- (6)/(5)+ (16)/(5)
simplify
3/10 n=2
multiply both sides by 10

10* (3)/(10)n=2*10
simplify
3n=20
divide both sides by 3

(3n)/(5)= (20)/(3)
simplify

n= (20)/(3)
Hope this helps
