Answer:
[tex]n=-6, 24[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
[tex]1-5|n-9|=-74[/tex]
Subtract 1 from both sides:
[tex]-5|n-9|=-75[/tex]
Divide both sides by -5:
[tex]|n-9|=15[/tex]
By definition of absolute value:
[tex](n-9)=15\text{ or } -(n-9)=15[/tex]
Solve for each case:
[tex]n=24\text{ or } n=-15+9=-6[/tex]
Therefore, our two solutions are:
[tex]n=-6, 24[/tex]
