Question 621835
{{{-2(5n+1)=12}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-10n-2=12}}} Distribute.



{{{-10n=12+2}}} Add {{{2}}} to both sides.



{{{-10n=14}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{n=(14)/(-10)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-10}}} to isolate {{{n}}}.



{{{n=-7/5}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{n=-7/5}}}
