$n = 5$ $n=5$

$- 5 n + 2 n = - 4 + n - 8 - 8$ $−5n+2n=−4+n−8−8$

By simplifying the above equation, we get:
$- 3 n = - 20 + n$ $−3n=−20+n$

Subtracting $n$ $n$ from both sides, we get:
$- 3 n - n = - 20$ $−3n-n=−20$
$- 4 n = - 20$ $−4n=−20$

Dividing both sides by $- 4$ $-4$ , we get:
$n = \frac{- 20}{- 4}$ $n=(−20)/-4$
$n = 5$ $n=5$

How do you solve −5n+2n=−4+n−8−8-5n + 2n = - 4+ n - 8- 8?
