If 5 + (-8) n=29. What does n equal?

The answer is n=32 cause you add 8 to both sides and then u have 5+n=37 and then you subtract 5 from 5 and 37 and it leaves N=32

Steps to solve

1) We have 5 + (-8) n = 29, which we can change to 5 - 8n = 29, because a positive times negative equals a negative

2) To isolate n, we move all of the other numbers to the other side of the equation. Since 5 is the only number on the left side, we subtract 5 from both sides

5 - 5 - 8n = 29 - 5

-8n = 24

3) Now, to find n, we want to just have one n on the left side instead of - 8, so we divide the equation by - 8 to find that

-8n/-8 = 24/8

n = 3

Therefore, n = 3
