{{{5n-2(n-2)=-11}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5n-2(n-2)}}} Start with the given expression.



{{{5n-2n+4}}} Distribute.



{{{5n-2n+4=-11}}} Distribute.



{{{3n+4=-11}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3n=-11-4}}} Subtract {{{4}}} from both sides.



{{{3n=-15}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{n=(-15)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{n}}}.



{{{n=-5}}} Reduce.
