Explanation:

first one;-

-2n+6=36

subtract 6 from both sides

-2n=30

divide both side by -2

n= -15

second one:-

what is 3n for the same value of n

n= -15

so 3n = 3× -15

=-45

;- 3n = -45

Answer:

3n = -45

Explanation:

-2n + 6 = 36

Subtract 6 from each side

-2n +6-6 = 36-6

-2n = 30

Multiply by -3/2 on each side

-2n * -3/2 = 30 *-3/2

3n = -45
