Solve the equation type your answer in the box as positive or negative whole number (Examples: 2 -4 6 -8) -28 = -3n + 5

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-28 = -3n + 5\), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 5 from both sides: \[ -28 - 5 = -3n \] \[ -33 = -3n \]

  2. Divide both sides by -3: \[ n = \frac{-33}{-3} \] \[ n = 11 \]

So the solution is \(11\).
