Question

N/8 - 3 = -11 What does n equal?

Answer 1

Hey there!

Firstly,
`simplify` both sides of your equation

• 
  `(1)/(8)n+ (-3)`
  `=-11`
• 
  `(1)/(8)n -3`
  `=-11`

Second,
`add` by the number
`3` on each of your sides

• 
  `(1)/(8)n - 3`
  `+3`
• Cancel:
  `-3 +3` because it gives you the result of
  `0`
• Keep:
  `-11+3` because it has the number we need to solve for the answer
• 
  `-11 + 3 =`
  `-8`
• 
  `(1)/(8)n = -8`

Third,
`multiply` by the number
`8` on each of your sides

• 
  `8((1)/(8)n)`
  `= 8(-8)`
• Cancel:
  `8((1)/(8))` because it doesn't give you what you're looking for
• Keep:
  `8(-8)` because it gives you your answer
• 
  `8(-8)= -64`

Answer↓

• 
  `\boxed{n = -64}`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
