-3(n+8)=3
mutiply the bracket by -3
(-3)(n)= -3n
(-3)(8)=-24
-3n-24=3
move -24 to the other side
sign changes from -24 to +24
-3n-24+24= 3+24
-3n= 3+24
-3n= 27
divide both sides by -3
to get +n
to get n by itself
-3n/-3= 27/-3
Answer:
n= -9
Hey there!
-3(n + 8) = 3
-3(n) - 3(8) = 3
-3n - 24 = 3
ADD 24 to BOTH SIDES
-3n -24 + 24 = 3 + 24
CANCEL out: -24 + 24 because it gives you 0
KEEP: 3 + 24 because it helps solve for the n-value
NEW EQUATION: -3n = 3 + 24
SOLVE ABOVE
-3n = 27
DIVIDE -3 to BOTH SIDES
-3n/-3 = 27/-3
CANCEL out: -3/-3 because that gives you 0
KEEP: 27/-3 because it gives you the result of the n-value
NEW EQUATION: n = 27/-3
SIMPLIFY IT
n = -9
Therefore, your answer is: n = -9
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
