For this case we must simplify the following expression:


6 (1 + 8n) = - 39 + 3n

We apply distributive property on the left side of the equation:


6 * 1 + 6 * 8n = -39 + 3n\\6 + 48n = -39 + 3n

We subtract 3n from both sides of the equation:


6 + 48n-3n = -39\\6 + 45n = -39

We subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:


45n = -39-6\\45n = -45

We divide between 45 on both sides of the equation:


n = \frac {-45} {45}\\n = -1

Answer:


n = -1
