How can we isolate n on the left-hand side?
n=8
To solve the equation we have to isolate n on one side of the equation. By dividing both sides of the equation by -8, we can remove the coefficient from n.
.LHS /(-8).=.RHS /(-8).
- a/- b=a/b
Calculate quotient
To check that we have the correct solution, we can substitute n=8 into the original equation.
Since both sides are equal, we can conclude that n=8 is the correct solution.
