(−2n−1)(9n6)=0
Multiply the terms
(−2n−1)×9n6=0
Multiply the terms
9n6(−2n−1)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
n6(−2n−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
n6=0−2n−1=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
n=0−2n−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
−2n−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2n=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−2n=1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2n=−1
Divide both sides
22n=2−1
