Question

7n + 8 + 1= -19
How do you solve this

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

firt you add a minus one on both sides:

7n + 8 + 1 + (- 1) = -19 + (- 1) => 7n + 8 = -20

then add a minus eight on both sides:

7n + 8 + (- 8) = -20 + (- 8) => 7n = -28

finally in order to find (n) , devide both sides by seven:

7n ÷ 7 = (- 28) ÷ 7 => [ n = -4 ]
