Answer:

3/4

You would have to divide both sides by 4

Explanation:


(4(3n-7))/(4) =(-19)/(4) ( divide both sides by 4 )


3n-7= -(19)/(4) ( simplify )


3n-7+7=-(19)/(4) +7 ( add 7 to both sides )


3n=(9)/(4) ( simplify )


(3n)/(3) =((9)/(4) )/(3) ( divide both sides by 3 )


n=(3)/(4)

Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

4(3n-7)=-19

3n-7=-19/4

3n=-19/4+7

3n=-19/4+28/4

3n=9/4

n=(9/4)/3

n=(9/4)(1/3)

n=9/12

simplify

n=3/4
