Question 173342


{{{3n-5=-8(6+5n)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3n-5=-48-40n}}} Distribute.



{{{3n=-48-40n+5}}} Add {{{5}}} to both sides.



{{{3n+40n=-48+5}}} Add {{{40n}}} to both sides.



{{{43n=-48+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{43n=-43}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{n=(-43)/(43)}}} Divide both sides by {{{43}}} to isolate {{{n}}}.



{{{n=-1}}} Reduce.
