\(\frac{1}{3} (n + 15) = -2\)
First, replace the numerator with the parentheses.
\(\frac{n+15}{3} =-2\)
Second, multiply both sides by 3.
\(n + 15 = -2 * 3\)
Third, multiply 2 × 3 to get 6.
\(n + 15 = -6\)
Fourth, take away 15 from each side.
\(n = -6 - 15\)
Fifth, simplify -6 - 15 to get -21.
\(n = -21\)
Answer: n = -21
