6-n = 17

-So to find the variable all you have to do is move all the numbers to one side ( for instance move 6 to right side by subtracting from the left )

-n = 17- 6
-n = 11

- And now with your new equation ( -n = 11) move the negative sign it to the right side, which would give you

* n = -11

-To test it out just fill in the n with -11

6 - (- 11 ) = 17

Note ( negative X negative = a positive For example: { -2 x -3 = 6 }

- ( -11 ) = + 11

6 + 11 = 17

Making the equation of ( n = -11 ) correct!

Hope this helps you :)
