determine the solution to the following problem

n/5 + 10 = -20

1 answer

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

  1. Isolate the term with \( n \): Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

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

    This simplifies to:

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

  2. Eliminate the fraction: Multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for \( n \).

    \[ n = -30 \times 5 \]

    This gives:

    \[ n = -150 \]

The solution to the equation is \( n = -150 \).
