1)
7n - 11 = 2n - 9
7n - 11 +11 = 2n - 9 + 11
7n = 2n +2
7n - 2n = 2n - 2n + 2
5n = 2
n = 2/5
2)
I'm assuming it's supposed to say...
6 = -2(10n+7)
6 = -20n - 14
6 + 14 = -20n -14 + 14
20 = -20n
n = -1

1) 7n-11 = 2n-9
First get the n's on the same side by subtracting 2n from both sides:
7n-11-2n = 2n-9-2n
5n-11 = -9
Then add 11 to both sides:
5n-11+11 = -9 +11
5n = 2
Then divide both sides by 5:
5n/5 = 2/5
n = 2/5 or 0.4
2) I am assuming you meant 6 = -2(10n+7)
First expand the parentheses:
6 = -2 x 10n + -2 x 7
6 = -20n -14
Then add 14 to both sides:
6 + 14 = -20n - 14 + 14
20 = -20n
Then divide both sides by -20
20/-20 = -20n/-20
-1 = n

1. 7n-11=2n-9
7n-2n = 11-9
5n =2
n=2/5
2.6=-2(10n+7)
2.6 = -20n -14
20n = -14-2.6
20n = -16.6
n = - .83

Hi,
For the first one, the first thing you need to do is move the 2n to the left side to get:
5n - 11 = -9
Now add 11 to both sides
5n = 2
Now divide by 5 and get n = 2 / 5.
For the second question: you need to do the following steps:
2.6 = -20n - 14
16.6 = -20n
0.83 = n
I hope that helps you out! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Sincerely,
Andrew

1 is -2=n
-9-11 = 2n+7n
-18 = 9n
-18/9 = 9n/9
-2 = n
i have no clue about the second one

You typed in your second equation wrong. I can't believe you don't know how to do these, by the way.
1. n = 2/5 = 0.4
For the 2nd one, I'm going to assume the = is a plus in the paranthesis because they're on the same key.
2. n = -1

7n-11=2n-9
7n-2n=9+11
5n=20
*n=4*
2.6=2(10n-7)
2.6=20n-14
16.6=20n
*n=0.83*
