Answer:

n = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by 2.

1. n+5=−1

Subtract 5 from both sides.

Simplify  -1 − -5  to −6.

3. n = −6

Answer is n = -6

Solving for n means you need to find the value of n, so rearrange the expression to get n on its own.

First expand the brackets, so:

2(n + 5) = -2
Becomes
2n+10 = -2

Then get 10 to the other side.

2n = -10 -2
2n = -12

Afterwards, divide 2n by 2 to get n on its own.

(2/2)n = -12/2

n = -6

So n = -6.
