Solve for n -1n+1=11

$- 1 n + 1 = 11$

Step 1

Rewrite $- 1 n$ as $- n$ .

$- n + 1 = 11$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $n$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$- n = 11 - 1$

Subtract $1$ from $11$ .

$- n = 10$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- n = 10$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- n = 10$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- n}{- 1} = \frac{10}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{n}{1} = \frac{10}{- 1}$

Divide $n$ by $1$ .

$n = \frac{10}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $10$ by $- 1$ .

$n = - 10$
