solve for n.\n-16 = -(11 + n)\nn =

Explanation:

Step1: Remove the negative sign

Multiply both sides by -1: $$ \begin{align*} -1\times(-16)&=-1\times-(11 + n)\ 16&=11 + n \end{align*} $$

Step2: Solve for (n)

Subtract 11 from both sides: $$ \begin{align*} 16-11&=11 + n-11\ 5&=n \end{align*} $$

Answer:

(n = 5)
