Equations

We are solving the equation

1-2n+5=10

It means to find the value of n that makes equality be true.

Let's go step by step

First, we add the numbers in the left side 1+5=6:

6-2n=10

Now we subtract 6 on both sides:

6-2n-6=10-6

Operate again:

-2n=4

Finally, divide by -2:

n = 4 / (-2)

Operate:

n = -2

The solution is n = -2
