    3 (-4n - 9) = 21

    Apply the distributive property.

    -12n - 27 = 21

    Apply the addition property of equality (add 27).

    -12n = 48

    Apply the division prop. of equality (divide by - 12)

    n = - 4

    N = - 4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 (-4n - 9) = 21

    3 (-4 (-4) = 16 - 9) = 21, two negatives multiplied makes a positive

    3 (16 - 9 = 7) = 21

    3 (7) = 21!
