Question

What is the answer. It has to be in negative numbers. Pls help ASAP!

Answer 1

n - 6 = 2n + 1 ⇐that's what the words in your title say.

 

So, solve for n.  Your gratuitous "it has to be in negative numbers" is not necessary; it will be whatever it has to be, as determined by regular algebra rules.
