10an=390-\left(n-1-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10.
10an=390-\left(n-2\right)
Subtract 1 from -1 to get -2.
10an=390-n+2
To find the opposite of n-2, find the opposite of each term.
10an=392-n
Add 390 and 2 to get 392.
10na=392-n
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{10na}{10n}=\frac{392-n}{10n}
Divide both sides by 10n.
a=\frac{392-n}{10n}
Dividing by 10n undoes the multiplication by 10n.
a=-\frac{1}{10}+\frac{196}{5n}
Divide 392-n by 10n.
10an=390-\left(n-1-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10.
10an=390-\left(n-2\right)
Subtract 1 from -1 to get -2.
10an=390-n+2
To find the opposite of n-2, find the opposite of each term.
10an=392-n
Add 390 and 2 to get 392.
10an+n=392
Add n to both sides.
\left(10a+1\right)n=392
Combine all terms containing n.
\frac{\left(10a+1\right)n}{10a+1}=\frac{392}{10a+1}
Divide both sides by 10a+1.
n=\frac{392}{10a+1}
Dividing by 10a+1 undoes the multiplication by 10a+1.
