n = -2.56

Step-by-step explanation:

2(9n-1)+7n+6= -60​

The first thing we do is expand the parenthesis:

2× 9n - 2×1 + 7n + 6 = -60

18n -2 + 7n + 6 = -60

collect like terms:

18n + 7n -2 + 6 = -60

25n + 4 = -60

Subtract 4 from both sides:

25n + 4 -4 = -60 - 4

25n + 0 = -64

25n = -64

divide both sides by 25:

25n/25 = -64/25

n = -2.56
