Solve the equation. Check your solution -5(5n-5)=30

Distribute -5: Distribute the -5 across the parentheses. -5 * 5n + -5 * -5 = 30 -25n + 25 = 30Subtract 25: Subtract 25 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable. -25n + 25 - 25 = 30 - 25 -25n = 5Divide by -25: Divide both sides by -25 to solve for n. -25n / -25 = 5 / -25 n = -1/5Check solution: Check the solution by substituting n back into the original equation. -5(5(-1/5)-5) = 30 -5(1 - 5) = 30 -5(-4) = 30 20 = 30

-5(5n-5)=30

\newline

Distribute $-5$ : Distribute the $-5$ across the parentheses. $\newline$ $-5 \times 5n + -5 \times -5 = 30$ $\newline$ $-25n + 25 = 30$
Subtract $25$ : Subtract $25$ from both sides to isolate the term with the variable. $\newline$ $-25n + 25 - 25 = 30 - 25$ $\newline$ $-25n = 5$
Divide by $-25$ : Divide both sides by $-25$ to solve for $n$ . $\newline$ $-25n / -25 = 5 / -25$ $\newline$ $n = -1/5$
Check solution: Check the solution by substituting $n$ back into the original equation. $\newline$ $-5(5(-1/5)-5) = 30$ $\newline$ $-5(1 - 5) = 30$ $\newline$ $-5(-4) = 30$ $\newline$ $20 = 30$
