Solve the equation for n:

7(n - 3) = -21

(1 point)
n=

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 7(n - 3) = -21 \), follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides by 7 to isolate the expression in parentheses: \[ n - 3 = \frac{-21}{7} \]

  2. Simplify the right side: \[ n - 3 = -3 \]

  3. Add 3 to both sides to solve for \( n \): \[ n = -3 + 3 \] \[ n = 0 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ n = 0 \]
