2%289n-1%29%2B7%28n%2B6%29=-60 Start with the given equation.


18n-2%2B7n%2B42=-60 Distribute.


25n%2B40=-60 Combine like terms on the left side.


25n=-60-40 Subtract 40 from both sides.


25n=-100 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%28-100%29%2F%2825%29 Divide both sides by 25 to isolate n.


n=-4 Reduce.
