n = –6

n = –3

n = 3

n = 6

Answer 1

The answer is n=-3.

negative three

Answer 2

ANSWER


`n = - 3`


Step-by-step explanation

We have the equation,


`11(n - 1) + 35 = 3n`


We expand the brackets to obtain,




`11n - 11+ 35 = 3n`



We simplify the constant terms to obtain,



`11n + 24 = 3n`



We now group the constant terms on one side of the equation and the variable terms on the other side.




`11n - 3n = - 24`


We simplify to obtain,


`8n = - 24`


We divide both sides of the equation to get,



`n = -3`

Hence the correct answer is B.
