3n-5=-48-40n
Move -40n to the other side. Sign changes from -40n to +40n.
3n+40n-5=-48= -48-40n+40n
3n+40n-5=-48
Move -5 to the other side.
3n+40n-5+5=-48+5
3n+40n=-43
43n=-43
Divide by 43 for both sides
43n/43=-43/43
n=-1
Answer: n=-1
Answer:
n = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
First subtract the 3n from both sides, creating the equation, -5 = -48 -43n. Then add 48 to both sides creating, 43 = -43n, then divide both sides by -43 and n = -1.
