Answer:

n=-30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:


(n)/(-3)-2=8

Step 1: Add 2 to both sides.


\begin{gathered} (n)/(-3)-2+2=8+2 \\ (n)/(-3)=10 \end{gathered}

Step 2: Multiply both sides by -3.


\begin{gathered} (n)/(-3)*-3=10*-3 \\ n=-30 \end{gathered}

The solution to the equation is n=-30,
