Just to get you straight, that is actually an expression. Equations have equal signs in them. Just so you know.
Anyway, it just so happens that this expression (-6n - 30) is already simplified. There are no like terms to combine there, since 30 does not have an "n".

No, it would be 62. The equation is: f(n) = 2(f(n - 1) + 1), with f(0) = 0. So f(5) = 2(30 + 1) = 62
Set up an equation using x for the integer. The equation would be: x/(-4+6)=-15 Firstly find the sum of -4 and 6. It would be 2. The equation is now: x/2=-15 Multiply both sides by 2. This means that: x=-30 Plug it back into the equation to check: -30/(-4+6)=-15 -30/2=-15 -15=-15 It works therefore -30 is the integer that when divided by the sum of negative 4 and positive 6 equals negative 15.
Call the number n. From the problem statement, (n/6) + 25 = n. Multiplying both sides by 6 yields n + 150 = 6n, or 150 = 5 n or n = 30.
Oh, dude, this is like some math riddle from a bad dream. So, if we break it down, it's saying 6 more than a number is equal to 2 times the sum of half the number plus three. So, the number is 9. Math can be fun... sometimes.
