-3(-4n + 30) = -30 Answer please?

To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "n" by itself in the equation:

-3(-4n + 30) = -30        Divide -3 on both sides

    [two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive]

-4n + 30 = 10       Subtract 30 on both sides

-4n + 30 - 30 = 10 - 30

-4n = -20          Divide -4 on both sides to get "n" by itself

n = 5

PROOF

-3(-4n + 30) = -30       Substitute/plug in 5 into "n"

-3(-4(5) + 30) = -30

-3(-20 + 30) = -30      Simplify what's inside the parentheses  [PEMDAS}

-3(10) = -30

-30 = -30
