n/3-8=-2 what is n?

n/3 - 8 = -2

(n/3) - 8 = -2

(n/3) - 8 + 8 = -2 +8

(n/3) = 6

(n/3) x 3 = 6 x 3

n = 18

thank you so much i have a whole page of these... im so confused!

could you help me check my answers?

give me another question then.

Whatever you do to the left side of the equation, you have to do to the right side of the equation.

To find the value of n, we will solve the given equation step by step.

Step 1: Move the constant term (-8) to the right side of the equation by adding 8 to both sides:
n/3 - 8 + 8 = -2 + 8
n/3 = 6

Step 2: To isolate n, we need to eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 (the denominator):
3 * (n/3) = 6 * 3
n = 18

So, the value of n that satisfies the equation is 18.
