Answer:
n=-17
Step-by-step explanation:
8(2n-5)=3(6n-2)
1) Distributive property
16x-40=18x-6
16x−40=18x−6
2) Subtract 16x16x from both sides.
-40=18x-6-16x
−40=18x−6−16x
3) Simplify 18x-6-16x18x−6−16x to 2x-62x−6.
-40=2x-6
−40=2x−6
4) Add 66 to both sides.
-40+6=2x
−40+6=2x
5) Simplify -40+6−40+6 to -34−34.
-34=2x
−34=2x
6) Divide both sides by 22.
-\frac{34}{2}=x
−
2
34
=x
7) Simplify \frac{34}{2}
2
34
to 17
−17=x
8) Switch sides.
x=−17
