n=24n=24

Explanation:

The equation is (-8n)/8=-24−8n8=−24. First, we multiply both sides by 88.
(color(blue)8(-8n))/8=color(blue)8(-24)8(−8n)8=8(−24) Then we simplify.

-8n=-192−8n=−192.
Then, we divide both sides by -8−8.
(-8n)/color(blue)(-color(blue)8)=(-192)/(color(blue)-color(blue)8)−8n−8=−192−8 and simplify.

:.n=24.
