Question

Solve equation -6n-2n+n+n=36

Answer 1

The answer is n= -6

Explanation:

1. first you should combine like terms
2. then subtract from the other side of the equation
3. once your left with -6n you must divide the variable (n) by the coefficient (-6) in order to get n alone. The reason you divide by -6 is because you can't have a negative variable in a typical equation.
4. afterwards you are left with -6, because any number divided by a negative number becomes negative.
