2(n-5) = 4 (n+2)

Question

Solve the equation

is the answer

-0.3 ?

2(n-5) = 4 (n+2)

Solve the equation

is the answer -0.3 ?

If the intent of 4 (n + 2) is 4 times (n + 2),

Expanding, 2n - 10 = 4n + 8

Therefore, 2n = -18 making n = -9.

If the intent of 4 (n + 2) is 4 + (n + 2), n = -9

If the intent of 4 (n + 2) is 4 - (n + 2), n = 6.
