Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{n}{5} + 10 = -20 \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

   \[ \frac{n}{5} + 10 - 10 = -20 - 10 \]

   This simplifies to:

   \[ \frac{n}{5} = -30 \]

2. Now, multiply both sides by 5 to isolate \( n \):

   \[ n = -30 \times 5 \]

   Which simplifies to:

   \[ n = -150 \]

Thus, the solution is \( n = -150 \).

The correct answer is -150.
