Answer:

n = -2

Explanation:

Distribute the -5

30 = -30n - 30

Add 30n to both sides

30 + 30n = -30

Subtract 30 from both sides

30n = -60

divde by 30 on both sides

n = -60/30

simplify

n = -2

Answer:

n = -2

Explanation:

30=-5(6n+6)

solve for n

30=-5(6n+6)

step 1: distribute the -5

-5 * 6n = -30n

-5 * 6 = -30

we now have 30 = -30n - 30

step 2 add 30 to both sides

30 + 30 = -30n - 30 + 30

simplify

60 = -30n

step 3 divide both sides by -30

60/-30 = -30n/-30

simplify

-2 = n

And we are done!
