Question

Figure out what n equals in this equation:
6n + 4 = -26

Answer 1

Answer:

n=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

6n+4=-26

=>6n=-26-4

=>6n=-30

=>n= -30/6

=>n=-5

Answer 2

Answer:

n= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for n, we need to get n by itself. To do this, get all the numbers to one side of the equation, and the variables to the other.

6n+4= -26

Subtract 4 from both sides to undo the addition

6n+4-4= -26-4

6n= -30

Now all the variables are on one side, and the numbers are on the other. n is still not by itself though, it is being multiplied by 6. To undo this, divide both sides by 6

6n/6=-30/6

n= -5
