Question

12 = n/-3 + 10

what is the value of n

Answer 1

12 = n/-3 + 10
2 = n/-3 (subtract both sides by 10)
-6 = n (multiply both sides by -3)
Therefore the value of n is -6.

Answer 2

Answer: n = -6

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

12= −1/3n +10

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−1/3n +10=12

Step 3: Subtract 10 from both sides.

−1/3n +10−10=12−10

−1/3n =2

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 3/(-1).

(3/−1) x (-1/3n) = (3/-1) x (2)

n=−6
