So we need to multiply both sides of the equation by a number so that way we can isolate n, and get our final answer. :)

Answer 7

And so @Jimbo69
like I said earlier, if we multiply both sides by -5/2 we can isolate n.

So what is \(\sf\Large \frac{-2}{5} \times \frac{-5}{2} = ?\)

AND

\(\sf\Large -30\times \frac{-5}{2} = ?\)
