Question

How do you solve −232=6(−7n+3)−8n?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-232=6(-7n+3)-8n

-232=-42n+18-8n

-232=-42n-8n+18

-232-18=-50n

-250=-50n

50n=250

n=250/50

n=5

hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

n = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to take into consideration the negative sign.

Step 1 is to open the Brackets.

-232 = 6(-7n + 3) - 8n

-232 = - 42n + 18 - 8n

The next step is to collect the like terms together.

We do this as follows :

-232 - 18 = - 42n - 8n

-250 = - 50n

The next step is to solve for n.

To solve for n we divide both sides by - 50.

250/50 = n

n = 5

The value of n is therefore 5.
