Tell your teacher that this should be solve not simplify:

#n = -1# #-n + 24= 5( - 6n - 1)# #-n + 24= - 30n - 5# distributive. #29n = -29# #n = -1#

Eva Abramson · Answer

#n=-1# #-n+24=5(-6n-1)# #-n+24=-30n-5# Add #-30n# to both sides #29n+24=-5# Subtract #24# from both sides #29n=-29# Divide #29# from both sides #n=-1#

Isaiah Anthony · Answer

#n=-1# Use the distributive property to simplify the right side of the equation. #-n+24=-30n-5# Put numbers on one side and letters on the other. #29n=-29# #n=-1#

Ethan Adkins · Answer

undefined To simplify the equation -n + 24 = 5(-6n - 1), you would first distribute the 5 on the right side of the equation: -n + 24 = -30n - 5. Then, you would combine like terms by adding or subtracting similar terms on both sides of the equation: -n + 24 = -30n - 5. Finally, you would isolate the variable by moving all the terms involving the variable to one side and the constants to the other side: 29n = 29. Therefore, n = 1.

Julia Adams · Answer

undefined To simplify the equation $-n + 24 = 5(-6n - 1)$, you would first distribute the $5$ on the right side of the equation:

$$ -n + 24 = -30n - 5 $$

Next, you can combine like terms:

$$ -n + 24 = -30n - 5 $$

$$ 24 = -29n - 5 $$

Then, you would isolate the variable term:

$$ 24 + 5 = -29n $$

$$ 29 = -29n $$

Finally, you would solve for $n$ by dividing both sides by $-29$:

$$ n = -\frac{29}{29} $$

$$ n = -1 $$
