What is the answer to 8-(-n)=1? I have tried to figure this out, and I can't.

n should be -7 i think.

first, you decide which side (of the equal sign) you want to be Variable (n) and which side you want to be whole numbers (like 1) then you change the - to a + and make the (-1n) a +1n. if you want the side with the n to be Variable you want to take off the 8 by subractsing the opposite (-8) you are then left with just 1n on that side. what you do to one side you must do to the other so subract (-8) from 1 on the other side. you are then left with -7 on the Whole number side.

1n = -7 so what times 1 equals -7?

hope this helps

When you subtract a negative, all you are really doing is adding. This problem is simple. 8-(-n) is really 8+n. Can you take it from here?

8+n=1

Subtract 8 from both sides.
n=-7

To find the value of n in the equation 8 - (-n) = 1, we can follow these steps:

1. Simplify the equation by removing the double negative. The negative sign before the variable -n can be rewritten as a positive sign: 8 + n = 1.

2. Isolate the variable by moving the constant term to the other side of the equation. In this case, subtract 8 from both sides: n = 1 - 8.

3. Perform the operation on the right side of the equation: n = -7.

Therefore, the value of n that satisfies the equation is -7.
