Answer:

n= -4/3

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8=−18+38(16−40n)

8=−18+(38)(16)+(38)(−40n)(Distribute)

8=−18+6+−15n

8=(−15n)+(−18+6)(Combine Like Terms)

8=−15n+−12

8=−15n−12

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−15n−12=8

Step 3: Add 12 to both sides.

−15n−12+12=8+12

−15n=20

Step 4: Divide both sides by -15.

−15n−15=20−15

n=−43

Answer:

n=−43
