To solve the equation \(\frac{2}{3}n - 6 = -8\), follow these steps:
-
Add 6 to both sides to isolate the term with \(n\):
\[ \frac{2}{3}n - 6 + 6 = -8 + 6 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ \frac{2}{3}n = -2 \]
-
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \(\frac{2}{3}\), which is \(\frac{3}{2}\):
\[ n = -2 \times \frac{3}{2} \]
This simplifies to:
\[ n = -3 \]
Thus, the solution is:
\[ n = -3 \]
