-15=(3n)/(5)
Since n is on the right-hand side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left-hand side of the equation.
(3n)/(5)=-15
Multiply each term in the equation by 5.
(3n)/(5)*5=-15*5
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
3n=-15*5
Multiply -15 by 5 to get -75.
3n=-75
Divide each term in the equation by 3.
(3n)/(3)=-(75)/(3)
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
n=-(75)/(3)
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
n=-25
