Answer:

n = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{n + 5}{-16} = -1[/tex]

We want to solve for n.

Currently, it is in a fraction.

Let's get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides by -16.

(n + 5) = (-1)(-16)

(n + 5) = 16

Isolate n further by subtracting 5 from both sides.

n = 16 - 5

n = 11

Let's check our answer by plugging n = 11 back into the original equation.

[tex]\frac{n + 5}{-16} = -1[/tex]

Plug n = 11 in.

[tex]\frac{11 + 5}{-16} = -1[/tex]

Add.

[tex]\frac{16}{-16} = -1[/tex]

Simplify.

-1 = -1

Your answer is correct!
