Question

Can you please show work and put answer

2 (n + 5) = -2

Answer 1

So you have to multiply the 2 and the n first and the 2 and the 5.
So that's 2n+10. Next, you have to subtract 10 from both sides and cross the previous 10 out (because they cancel out). Then, you bring down the 2n and the -12.

(2n-12) Last you divide everything by 2 and you get:

n=-6!

TA-DA!!!

Answer 2

2n + 10= -2
-10 -10

2n= -12
/2 /2

n= -6
