What is N if n plus 3 over 8 equals negative 4?

Answer 1

n = -35

(n+3)/8 = -4

Multiply both sides by 8.

8(n+3)/8 = -4 x 8

Cancel 8 on the left-hand side.

8(n+3)/8 = -4 x 8

Simplify.

n+3 = -32

Subtract 3 from both sides.

n = -32 - 3

Simplify.

n = -35

Answer 2

n + ⅜ = -4

→ n = -4 - ⅜ = -4⅜ = (-4×8+3)/8 = -35/8

Or do you mean:

(n + 3)/8 = -4

→ n + 3 = -4 × 8

→ n + 3 = -32

→ n = -32 - 3

→ n = -35

Answer 3

n = -35/8.
