Question

If n-8=-10 what is n

Answer 1

n=-2

Explanation:

You do the reverse of -8 which is +8. -10+8=-2. n=-2

Answer 2

-2

Explanation:

To solve this equation, we need to keep n on one side by itself, so we need to move the - 8 to the other side. Because this is an equation, we can do the same thing to both sides which will help us move the 8 while keeping the equation valid and equal. So, in order to move the - 8,we can add 8 to both sides:

n-8+8=-10+8

Now we see that the 8s will cancel each other out on the left side leaving us with just:

n=-2
