Answer:
n = (-44)/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for n:
n - 2 = 10 n + 42
Subtract 10 n from both sides:
(n - 10 n) - 2 = (10 n - 10 n) + 42
n - 10 n = -9 n:
-9 n - 2 = (10 n - 10 n) + 42
10 n - 10 n = 0:
-9 n - 2 = 42
Add 2 to both sides:
(2 - 2) - 9 n = 2 + 42
2 - 2 = 0:
-9 n = 42 + 2
42 + 2 = 44:
-9 n = 44
Divide both sides of -9 n = 44 by -9:
(-9 n)/(-9) = 44/(-9)
(-9)/(-9) = 1:
n = 44/(-9)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 44/(-9) by -1:
Answer: n = (-44)/9
