Determine the solution to the following problem:

n/5 + 10 = -20

1 answer

To solve the equation, we will isolate the variable n.

First, we can subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to get:
n/5 = -30

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get rid of the fraction:
5 * (n/5) = 5 * (-30)
n = -150

Therefore, the solution to the equation is n = -150.
