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 :)
