Question

How do you solve `6+ n = - 7`?

Answer 1

`n`= -13

Explanation:

6 + `n` = -7

So the first step in solving any basic linear equation (and virtually all equations) is to isolate the variable (`n`)...so we can solve the problem.
In the particular equation, subtract 6 (because subtraction is the opposite of addition) from both sides:

`n`= -13

This equation had only one step to solve, and as you get more "advanced" algebra equations, the more there will be to simplify.
Hope this helps!
