Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the given variable [tex]N[/tex], we need to get [tex]N[/tex] on one side of the equation by itself. To do so, we need to remove the -16 that is on the same side of the variable.
To get rid of the -16, we can add a 16 to that side of the equation since [tex]-16 + 16 = 0[/tex], which will get [tex]N[/tex] by itself; however, if we add -16 to one side of the equation, we must add it to both sides of the equation:
[tex]-30 + 16 = -16 + 16 + N[/tex]
[tex]-14 = N[/tex]
