Question

N/8 - 3 = -11 What does n equal?

Answer 1

Hey there!

Firstly, $simplify$ both sides of  your equation

• $\frac{1}{8}n+ (-3)$ $=-11$
• $\frac{1}{8}n -3$$=-11$

Second,  $add$  by the number $3$ on each of your sides

• $\frac{1}{8}n - 3$$+3$
• Cancel: $-3 +3$ because it gives you the result of $0$
• Keep: $-11+3$ because it has the number we need to solve for the answer
• $-11 + 3 =$ $-8$
• $\frac{1}{8}n = -8$

Third, $multiply$ by the number $8$ on each of your sides

• $8(\frac{1}{8}n)$ $= 8(-8)$
• Cancel: $8(\frac{1}{8})$ because it doesn't give you what you're looking for
• Keep: $8(-8)$ because it gives you your answer
• $8(-8)= -64$

Answer↓

• $\boxed{n = -64}$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
