Question

\[\frac{ -2n-2 }{ 3 }=12\]
@bibby

Answer 1

multiply both sides times 3,
add 2 to both sides,
divide both sides by -2.

OR

factor out of -2 on top,
multiply by 3/(-2) on both sides,

Answer 2

i dont get mathematical terms

Answer 3

\(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle \frac{-2n-2}{3}=12 }\)

lets do one step at a time.

\(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle \frac{-2n-2}{3} \color{blue}{\times 3}=12 \color{blue}{\times 3} }\)

multiplied both sides times -3, what do you get?

Answer 4

i dont really understand when you explain it with words instead of numbers. do you know what im saying

Answer 5

\(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle \frac{-2n-2}{3} =12 }\)

\(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle \frac{-2n-2}{3} \color{blue}{\times 3}=12 \color{blue}{\times 3} }\)

\(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle ?~~~=~~~~? }\)

Answer 6

don't quite get what you mean by saying that you don't get a word explanation.
I think I posted pretty nicely the (multiplication times) blue 3's.

Answer 7

Not that the first one you said.

Answer 8

The first reply you don't get?
So I am trying to take it down with you peace by peace.

Do you get what I recently said?

\(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle \frac{-2n-2}{3} \color{blue}{\times 3}=12 \color{blue}{\times 3} }\) (it was this)
