2 (n + 1) = -34

Question

O 12
O -15
O -18
O 8

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we need to isolate variable n by performing operations on both sides of the equation.

2(n+1) = -34

First, distribute the 2 on the left side:

2n + 2 = -34

Now, subtract 2 from both sides to move the constant term to the right side:

2n + 2 - 2 = -34 - 2

2n = -36

Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for n:

(2n)/2 = -36/2

n = -18

Thus, the value of n is -18. So the correct option is O -18.
