Answer:

n=-20/133

Explanation:

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by −4n+1.

8n−2+5(25n−8)=−62

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 25n−8.

8n−2+125n−40=−62

Combine 8n and 125n to get 133n.

133n−2−40=−62

Subtract 40 from −2 to get −42.

133n−42=−62

Add 42 to both sides.

133n=−62+42

Add −62 and 42 to get −20.

133n=−20

Divide both sides by 133.

n=-20/133

Fraction −20/133≈−0.15037594 can be rewritten as −20/133 ≈−0.15037594 by extracting the negative sign.

n=−20/133
