Step-by-step explanation

-16+5n=-7(-6+8n)+3

1.) multiply

-16+5n=42+-56n+3

2.) add like terms

-16+5n=-45+-56n

3.) find lower number, and add the opposite

29n+5n=42

4.) add n's

34n=42 ?

Answer 2

n = 1

Explanation:

-16 + 5n = -7(-6 + 8n) + 3

Expand the terms in the bracket

That's

- 16 + 5n = 42 - 56n + 3

Group like terms

That's

Send the constants to the right side of the equation and those with variables to the left side

We have

5n + 56n = 16 + 42 + 3

Simplify

61n = 61

Divide both sides by 61

We have the final answer as

n = 1

Hope this helps you
