Answer:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2−2n=3n+17
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2−2n=3n+17
2+−2n=3n+17
−2n+2=3n+17
Step 2: Subtract 3n from both sides.
−2n+2−3n=3n+17−3n
−5n+2=17
Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.
−5n+2−2=17−2
−5n=15
Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{-5n}{-5}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{-15}{-5}[/tex]
n=-3
