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

1 answer

To solve the equation \(\frac{n - 2}{-3} = -6\), follow these steps:

  1. Multiply both sides by \(-3\) to eliminate the fraction:

    \[ n - 2 = -6 \times -3 \]

    \[ n - 2 = 18 \]

  2. Add \(2\) to both sides to solve for \(n\):

    \[ n = 18 + 2 \]

    \[ n = 20 \]

The solution is \(20\).
