Question 373391: how do you solve
-n + 0.4n + 1.8 = -4.2

First you must combine like terms.
This would make the equation: -0.6n + 1.8 = -4.2
.
Now, you need to move like terms to the same side. If you want to get rid of the negatives, you can add 4.2 to each side and also add 0.6n to each side.
The equation will now read 6 = 0.6n
.
The final step is to divide each side by 0.6 to find the value of n.
.
n = 10
