    First, expand;





    Then, move all the terms in n on the same side;



    Can you take it from there?

    Your answer should be 70

    Just multiply the number outside the parantheses with the one inside:

    -7n-63-7-2n = -10n

    Group the same number together (n with n and without n with without n):

    -9n -70 = -10 n

    Then, solve for n:
    -9n + 10 n (the sign change as you bring it to the other side) thus,

    -9n + 10n = 70
    n = 70
