9n + 3 (n - 2) = - 18

n = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute 3 to n and - 2 which gives you 3n and - 6

combine like terms of 9n and 3n which gets you 12

Bring - 6 to other side by adding it to both sides. that leaves you with - 12

-12 divided by 12 equals - 1

Anwser is n = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You do distributive property you multiply 3 to n and 3 by - 2 and your equation becomes 9n+3n-6=-18. Than you combine like terms and you get 12n-6=-18 and then you add 6 to the - 18 and you get - 12 and you divide - 12 by 12 and you get - 1
