Question

Trying to check my answer.

Answer 1

Question: solve 3n-5=-8(6+40n) .

3n - 5 = -8(6 + 40n)     -- multiply out the brackets

3n - 5 = - 48 - 320n     -- group the n-terms on one side and the constant values on the other

3n + 320n = 5 - 48      -- now a bit of arithmetic

323n = -43                  -- divide through by 323

n = -43/323
