Answer:

n=-8

Explanation:

Solve by isolating the variable by using the properties of equalities.

First, divide both sides by -6,


n+1=-7

Then, subtract 1 from both sides,


n=-8

This is the quickest method of solving the equation. However, it is also possible to solve by distributing the -6 in the beginning and then solving.
