n-5

Question

______ = -7
-2

Answer 1

To solve this equation, you can cross-multiply.

Starting with the equation n-5 / -2 = -7, we can multiply both sides by -2 to eliminate the denominator:

(n-5) = -7 * (-2)

Simplifying the right side:

n - 5 = 14

To isolate n, we can add 5 to both sides:

n = 14 + 5

n = 19

Therefore, the value of n is 19.
