Question

How do you simplify `-n + 24= 5( - 6n - 1)`?

Answer 1

`n=-1`

Explanation:

Use the distributive property to simplify the right side of the equation.
`-n+24=-30n-5`
Put numbers on one side and letters on the other.
`29n=-29`
`n=-1`

Answer 2

Tell your teacher that this should be solve not simplify:

`n = -1`

Explanation:

`-n + 24= 5( - 6n - 1)`

`-n + 24= - 30n - 5` distributive.

`29n = -29`

`n = -1`

Answer 3

`n=-1`

Explanation:

`-n+24=5(-6n-1)`

`-n+24=-30n-5`

Add `-30n` to both sides

`29n+24=-5`

Subtract `24` from both sides

`29n=-29`

Divide `29` from both sides

`n=-1`
