I would start by multiplying both sides times (-1), because I often lose minus signs on transcription, and I failed an exam because of that half a century ago.

Depends on the question.
If you want to solve for n, you should say, "Solve for n."
-130=-5(2-8n)
times -1
130 = 5(2-8n)
Divide by 5
26 = 2-8n
24 = -8n
n = -3
