Question

value of n in 3n-5=-21

Answer 1

Answer:

5  -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3n - 5 = -21

3n = -21 + 5

3n = -16

n= -16/3

n= 5 -1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of n$=\frac{-16}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data in given equation

In above question it is given that

We have find the value of given expression

Given the data in question 3n-5=-21

Hence, for solving the above equation, we will solve it by separating the like terms at one side.

So, we will shift 5 from LHS to RHS the sign will change from negative to positive,

As we get,

$3n-5=-21\\3n=-21+5\\3n=-16$

Divide both side by 3 we get,

$\frac{3n}{3} =\frac{-16}{3} \\n=\frac{-16}{3}$
