Slove the equation 3n+2=-2n-8

Lets use 5 as n for example

if this would be "find out if the equation is true"

3 (5) = 15 + 2 = 17

-2 (5) = - 10 - 8 = - 18

false

lets find out the number n

lets use - 1

3 (-1) - 3 + 2 = - 1

-2 (-1) 2 - 8 = - 6

-2

3 (-2) - 6 + 2 = - 4

-2 (-2) = 4 - 8 = - 4

if we were looking for n its - 2.

answers: false or - 2.

3n+2=-2n-8

3n+2+2n = - 8

5n = - 8 - 2

5n = - 10

n = - 2
