Need help.....
-32=-7n-12+3n

Answer 1

Well the first thing you should do is combine like terms. On the right side of the equation, you have -7n and 3n. If you add those together, you get 4n

Answer 2

-4n

Answer 3

Sorry about that

Answer 4

So you have -32=-4n-12

Answer 5

Then you can add 12 to the other side, to isolate the term with n on the other side, as well as to combine more like terms

Answer 6

So you get -20=-4n

Answer 7

Then if you divide both sides by -4, you get that n=5

Answer 8

This is correct because if you substitute 5 into the original equation, you get
