Question

Solve: 16n + 28 = -20

Answer 1

n = -3

Steps:
Since n = -3, you should replace the “n” with -3 since it has a value now.

(1.). 16 (-3) + 28 = -20

First, you multiply 16 by negative 3


(2.). 16 x -3

Which equals -48. 16 x -3 = -48

Now, you add 28 to -48

(3.). -48 + 28

Which equals -20. -48 + 28 = -20


(Since the starting number is in the negatives, you start from the negative number counting up to zero.)

Answer 2

the answer is n = -3
