-17n = -697
To solve for n, we need to isolate n on one side of the equation.
We can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by (-1) to remove the negative sign on the left side:
(-1)(-17n) = (-1)(-697)
17n = 697
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 17 to solve for n:
17n/17 = 697/17
n = 41
Therefore, n = 41
