$$\frac{ -2n-2 }{ 3 }=12$$

anonymous · Answer

Okay, so first, lets multiply 3 on both sides.

anonymous · Answer

So then our equation would be what? 3(−2n−2/3)=3(12)

anonymous · Answer

what grade is this?

sleepyjess · Answer

If you multiply both sides by 3, in $\dfrac{-2n-2}3$ * 3, the 3's cancel each other out, leaving -2n - 2. For 12*3, that gives 36, making the equation 
-2n - 2 = 36

anonymous · Answer

yes what @sleepyjess said

kweenlexis · Answer

12*3=36 & -2n-2*3=36
