5%28-5n%2B1%29-3%28n%2B3%29=52 Start with the given equation.


-25n%2B5-3n-9=52 Distribute.


-28n-4=52 Combine like terms on the left side.


-28n=52%2B4 Add 4 to both sides.


-28n=56 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%2856%29%2F%28-28%29 Divide both sides by -28 to isolate n.


n=-2 Reduce.
