Question

5n = 8n + 30
help me pleaseeeeee

Answer 1

n = -10

Explanation:

5n = 8n + 30

you move 8n over by subtracting it from both sides

5n -8n = 8n -8n +30

add like terms

-3n = 30

then divid both sides by -3

-3n/-3 = 30/-3

n = -10

Answer 2

To find n
1. Subtract 8n from both side to get -3n=30
2. Divide both sides by -3 to get n=-10
