What is the value of n? 40= -5n/8
\(40=-\frac{5n}{8}\ \ \ |Multiply\ by\ 8\ \ \ both\ sides\\\\ 320=-5n\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ (-5)\\\\ n=-64\\\\Solution\ is\ -64.\)
To find value of n, we have to have only one n of the RHS.To do this, we can multiply both sides by 8\(40= \frac{-5n}{8}\) /*8\(320=-5n\)Now we can divide both sides by -5\(320=-5n\) / :(-5)\(-64=n\)Result is -64
