Question 116177

{{{8-(-3n)=3n-2}}} Start with the given equation




{{{8+3n=3n-2}}} Rewrite {{{-(-3n)}}} as +3n



{{{3n=3n-2-8}}}Subtract 8 from both sides



{{{3n-3n=-2-8}}} Subtract 3n from both sides



{{{0n=-2-8}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{0n=-10}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{0=-10}}} Simplify
