Answer:

n=-17

Step-by-step explanation:

8(2n-5)=3(6n-2)

1) Distributive property

16x-40=18x-6

16x−40=18x−6

2) Subtract 16x16x from both sides.

-40=18x-6-16x

−40=18x−6−16x

3) Simplify 18x-6-16x18x−6−16x to 2x-62x−6.

-40=2x-6

−40=2x−6

4) Add 66 to both sides.

-40+6=2x

−40+6=2x

5) Simplify -40+6−40+6 to -34−34.

-34=2x

−34=2x

6) Divide both sides by 22.

-\frac{34}{2}=x

−

2

34

=x

7) Simplify \frac{34}{2}

2

34

to 17

−17=x

8) Switch sides.

x=−17
