Question

What is n if the equation is

n - 2 divided by -3 = -6
Please help me I am having a lot of trouble, thank you

Answer 1

n - 2 / - 3 = - 6 (1) multiply both sides by -3 to get n - 2 alone
n - 2 = 18 (2) add 2 to both sides; 2 on left side gets cancelled so we can now have n all alone
n = 20
