Solve for n.

6n–7(n+1)=6n

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 6n - 7(n + 1) = 6n \), we can first simplify the left side of the equation.

Start with the equation:

\[ 6n - 7(n + 1) = 6n \]

Distribute \(-7\) in the left-hand side:

\[ 6n - 7n - 7 = 6n \]

Combine like terms on the left side:

\[ (6n - 7n) - 7 = 6n \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -n - 7 = 6n \]

Next, add \(n\) to both sides of the equation:

\[ -n + n - 7 = 6n + n \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -7 = 7n \]

Now, divide both sides by 7:

\[ n = -1 \]

Thus, the solution for \(n\) is:

\[ \boxed{-1} \]
