How do you solve 5(N+4)/3 = N-8

n=-22

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrite the equation as 5(n+4) = n-8

3

now distribute the 5 through the parentheses 5n+20 = n-8

3

multiply each side by 3 5n+20=3n - 24

subrtact 3n from both sides 5n+20=3n - 24

-3n -3n

2n+20=-24

then subtract 20 from each side 2n +20=-24

-20 -20

Giving you 2n=-44 then divide both sides by 2

2n=-44 Giving you n=-22
