[tex]\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{In this question, we're trying to solve the equation}\\\text{We would use the distributive property and solve after that}\\\\\text{Lets solve:}\\\\-16 + 5n= -7(-6 + 8n) + 3\\\\\text{Distribute the -7 to the numbers inside the parenthesis}\\\\-16 + 5n= 42 -56n + 3\\\\\text{Add 56n to both sides}\\\\-16 + 61n= 42 + 3\\\\\text{Add 16 to both sides}\\\\61n= 42 + 3 + 16\\\\61n= 42 + 3 + 16\\\\61n= 45 + 16\\\\61n = 61\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 61}[/tex]
[tex]n = 1[/tex]
I hope this helps!
