Please solve, 1-8n-8= -7n-6n-12?

n = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 8n - 8 = -7n - 6n - 12

Simplify

-8n - 7 = -13n - 12

Add 7 to both sides

-8n = -13n - 5

Add 13n to both sides

5n = -5

Divide both sides by 5

n = -1

n = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 8n - 8 = -7n - 6n - 12

-8n + 7n + 6n = -12 + 8 - 1

5n = -5

n = -5/5

n = -1

probe:

1 - 8*-1 - 8 = -7*-1 - 6*-1 - 12

1 + 8 - 8 = 7 + 6 - 12 = 1

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
