Your approach is correct up to the point where you have the equation n/5 = -30.
To solve for n, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation. In this case, you can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5.
n/5 * 5 = -30 * 5
On the left side, the 5s will cancel out, leaving you with just n:
n = -150
So, the correct solution to the equation n/5 + 10 = -20 is n = -150.
EXPLAIN IN GOOD DETAIL: n/5 + 10 = -20
I'll give a head start correct me if I'm wrong then give a long, good explanation:
First, we do the opposite of addition which is subtraction on both sides:
10 - 10 = 0
-20 - 10 = -30
then the equation is now: n/5 = -30
then we divide both sides by 5
5/5 and -30/5
5 divided by 5 is 1
-30 divided by 5 is -6
N = -6
NOW CORRECT AND TELL ME IF I'M WRONG
IF I AM WRONG EXPLAIN THROUGHLY.
sorry for caps.
