Question

How do you solve `9n - - 5= 32`?

Answer 1

Assuming you wrote it correctly `-.- =+`, which means negative times negative gives you a positive sign.

So, the question is actually saying

`9n+5=32` and now, solve for `n`.

It is quite simple to do. All you have to do is to put your `5` on the other side of the equation then divide the sum by `9`. Don't forget that by putting `5` on the other side, you have to change its sign.

`9n+5=32`

`9n=32-5`

`9n=27`

`n=27/9`

`n=3`

Hope this helps :)
