Divide both sides by -13 to find n=10.

Explanation:

-13n=-130

The -13 is multiplied by n. The operation that is the "opposite" of multiplication is division. So, to isolate the n (get the n by itself), divide both sides by -13.

(-13n)/-13=(-130)/-13

(cancel(-13)n)/(cancel(-13))=(-130)/-13

n=10
