you start by subtracting 2 from both sides and distributing the 6 inside the parentheses. this gives you 30n-18=-168. from there you add 18 to both sides to get 30n=-150. you next divide both sides by 30 to get your final answer of n=-5

Answer:

n = -5

Explanation:

-6(-5n+3)+2=-166

distribute the -6

- 6 * -5n = 30n

-6 * 3 = - 18

30n - 18 + 2 = -166

combine like terms

30n - 16 = -166

add 16 to both sides

30n = -150

divide both sides by 30

30n/30=n

-150/30=-5

we're left with n = -5
