Solve for n

Question

-2(4 + n) = 24

Answer 1

To solve for n, we can start by distributing the -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-2(4 + n) = 24
-8 - 2n = 24

Next, we can combine like terms:

-2n - 8 = 24

To isolate the variable, we can add 8 to both sides:

-2n = 32

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

n = -16
