Solve the equation-2(n+3)=13

Answer:
Use distributive property
Divide both sides by (-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
First method: Use distributive property:
-2(n + 3) = 13
-2n - 6 = 13
-2n = 13 + 6
-2n = 19
n = 19/-2
n = -9.5
2) Divide both sides by (-2)
-2(n +33) = 13
[tex]\frac{-2(n + 3)}{2}=\frac{13}{-2}\\\\n + 3 = -6.5\\ n = -6.5 - 3\\ n = -9.5[/tex]
