Answer:

n = -3

Explanation:

Simplifying

11(n + -1) + 35 = 3n

Reorder the terms:

11(-1 + n) + 35 = 3n

(-1 * 11 + n * 11) + 35 = 3n

(-11 + 11n) + 35 = 3n

Reorder the terms:

-11 + 35 + 11n = 3n

Combine like terms: -11 + 35 = 24

24 + 11n = 3n

Solving

24 + 11n = 3n

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3n' to each side of the equation.

24 + 11n + -3n = 3n + -3n

Combine like terms: 11n + -3n = 8n

24 + 8n = 3n + -3n

Combine like terms: 3n + -3n = 0

24 + 8n = 0

Add '-24' to each side of the equation.

24 + -24 + 8n = 0 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0

0 + 8n = 0 + -24

8n = 0 + -24

Combine like terms: 0 + -24 = -24

8n = -24

Divide each side by '8'.

n = -3

Simplifying

n = -3

11n - 11 + 35 = 3n

8n = - 24

n = - 3
