Explanation:

Step 1: Define

-6 = n/2 - 10

Step 2: Solve for n

  1. Add 10 to both sides: 4 = n/2
  2. Multiply 2 on both sides: 8 = n
  3. Rewrite: n = 8

Step 3: Check

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

  1. Substitute in n: -6 = 8/2 - 10
  2. Divide: -6 = 4 - 10
  3. Subtract: -6 = -6

Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.

∴ n = 8 is the solution to the equation.
