Answer:

n = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]- 5n - 2 = 38[/tex]

Collect like terms and simplify

[tex]-5n = 38+2\\\\-5n = 40[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by -5

[tex]\frac{-5n}{-5n} = \frac{40}{-5}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]n = -8[/tex]

You would add two to 38. Then divide both sides by -5 to get N=8
