Solve the following equation
10n-72=-2
Solve for n
10n - 72 = - 2
Divide each side by 10
| 10n | |
| 10 |
| = |
| -72 |
| 10 |
Group constants
Group our constants -72 and -2.
add 72 to both sides
10n - 72 + 72 = -2 + 72
Cancel 72 on the left side:
10n = 70
Divide each side of the equation by 10
| 10n | |
| 10 |
| = |
| 70 |
| 10 |
n = 7
Final Answer
n = 7
