I got -25.

1) -1/5n +7 = 2
2) -1/5n=-5
3) n=25

The value of n should be 25 to make the equation true.

Solution:

Given,

[tex]\frac{-1}{5}n+7=2[/tex]

On grouping the terms and bringing the unknown value to the other side we get,

[tex]\frac{-1}{5}n=2-7[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{-1}{5}n=-5[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow {-1}n=-5\times5[/tex]

[tex](-1\times n = -n)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow -n=-25[/tex]

On cancelling - on both the sides, we get n=25.

Hence, n=25
