Q. Solve for

n

.

\newline

\text{–}(n − 6) = \text{–}3

\newline

n =

____

Divide by $-1$ : Write the expression after dividing both sides by $-1$ to get rid of the negative sign in front of the parenthesis. $\newline$ Divide both sides by $–1$ . $\newline$ $–(n − 6)/–1 = –3/–1$ $\newline$ $n - 6 = 3$
Add $6$ : Add $6$ to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable $n$ . $\newline$ $n - 6 + 6 = 3 + 6$ $\newline$ $n = 3 + 6$
Calculate sum: Calculate the sum on the right side of the equation to find the value of $n$ . $n = 3 + 6$ $n = 9$
