Answer:
The expression is: [tex]-30n + 70 = -80[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]n = 5[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 3
[tex]3 * n = 5 * 3[/tex]
[tex]3n = 15[/tex]
Subtract both sides by 7
[tex]3n - 7 = 15 - 7[/tex]
[tex]3n - 7 = 8[/tex]
Multiply both sides by -10
[tex]-10(3n - 7) = -10*8[/tex]
[tex]-30n + 70 = -80[/tex]
To verify: Substitute 5 for n
[tex]-30 * 5 + 70 = -80[/tex]
[tex]-150 + 70 = -80[/tex]
[tex]-80 =-80[/tex] ---- Verified
