Solve the equation for n:

7(n - 3) = -21

(1 point)
n=

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 7(n - 3) = -21 \), follow these steps:

  1. Start by dividing both sides of the equation by 7:

\[ n - 3 = \frac{-21}{7} \]

  1. Simplify the right side:

\[ n - 3 = -3 \]

  1. Next, add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate \( n \):

\[ n = -3 + 3 \]

  1. Simplifying gives:

\[ n = 0 \]

So the solution is:

\[ n = 0 \]
