5n + 34 = -2 ( 1 + 7n )

solve and show work

5n + 34 = -2(1+7n)
distribute the -2
5n + 34 = -2 -14n
combine like terms
5n + 14n = -2 - 34
19n = -36
n = -36/19

5n + 34 = -2(1 + 7n)

Simplify.

5n + 34 = -2 - 14n

Subtract 34 from both sides.

5n = -2 - 14n - 34

Add 14n to both sides.

5n + 14n = -2 - 34

Simplify.

19n = -36

Divide both sides by 19.

n = -36/19
