Question

-3 (n - 5) = 3 (1 - 3n)

Answer 1

n = -2

Explanation:

-3 (n - 5) = 3 (1 - 3n)

-3n + 15 = 3 - 9n

-3n + 9n = 3 - 15

-6n = -12

n = -2

Answer 2

n = -2

Explanation:

-3 (n - 5) = 3 (1 - 3n)

Distribute

-3n +15 = 3 - 9n

Add 9n to each side

-3n+15 +9n = 3-9n+9n

6n +15 = 3

Subtract 15 from each side

6n+15-15 =3-15

6n = -12

Divide by 6

6n/6 = -12/6

n = -2
