Question

Whats the value of n?
`40 = -(5n)/(8)` need help asap

Answer 1

Isolate the n. First, multiply 8 to both sides

40(8) = (-5n/8)(8)

40(8) = -5n

Multiply.

320 = -5n

Isolate the n. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide -5 from both sides

(320)/-5 = (-5n)/-5

n = 320/-5

n = -64

-64 is your answer for n

hope this helps
