To solve for \( n \) in the equation
\[
-6.5(n - 5) = 18.2,
\]
we first divide both sides by \(-6.5\):
\[
n - 5 = \frac{18.2}{-6.5}.
\]
Calculating the right side gives:
\[
n - 5 = -2.8.
\]
Next, we add \( 5 \) to both sides:
\[
n = -2.8 + 5.
\]
Calculating this results in:
\[
n = 2.2.
\]
Thus, the value of \( n \) is
\[
\boxed{2.2}.
\]
