    12 * (2+n) = - 11

    distribute

    24 + 12n = - 11

    subtract 24 from each side

    12n = - 35

    divide by 12

    n = - 35/12

    n = - 2 11/12

    12 (x+2) = -11

    Step-by-step explanation:

    multiply 12 by the x and the 2

    12x+24=-11

    then 12x + 24 - 24 = -11 - 24

    12x = - 35

    -35/-12 = 2 11/12 or 2.916 (repeating)
