Question

$$2-2n=3n+17............n=$$

Solve for n

$n=-3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $3n$ from both sides.

$$2-2n-3n=17$$

Combine $-2n$ and $-3n$ to get $-5n$.

$$2-5n=17$$

Subtract $2$ from both sides.

$$-5n=17-2$$

Subtract $2$ from $17$ to get $15$.

$$-5n=15$$

Divide both sides by $-5$.

$$n=\frac{15}{-5}$$

Divide $15$ by $-5$ to get $-3$.

$$n=-3$$
