Solve for n. −2(4 n)=24 (1 point) Responses n = 16 n = 16 n = -8 n = -8 n = 8 n = 8 n = -16

Answer 1

To solve for n in the equation −2(4n) = 24, we can start by simplifying the expression on the left side of the equation.

−2(4n) will simplify to -8n.

So we now have: -8n = 24

To solve for n, we can divide both sides of the equation by -8:

(-8n)/(-8) = 24/(-8)

This simplifies to:

n = -3

Therefore, the correct response is: n = -3

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve it correctly:

To solve for n, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

We have −2(4n) = 24.

Multiplying -2 by 4n, we get -8n: -8n = 24.

Now, let's solve for n by dividing both sides of the equation by -8:

-8n/-8 = 24/-8

Simplifying, we have n = -3.

Therefore, the correct response is: n = -3.

Answer 4

Solve for n. −2(4+n)=24 (1 point) Responses n = 16 n = 16 n = -8 n = -8 n = 8 n = 8 n = -16

Answer 5

To solve for n in the equation −2(4 + n) = 24, we can start by simplifying the expression on the left side of the equation.

Distributing -2 to 4 and n, we have: -8 - 2n = 24

Next, let's isolate the variable by moving -8 to the right side of the equation:

-2n = 24 + 8

Simplifying the right side, we get:

-2n = 32

To solve for n, divide both sides of the equation by -2:

-2n / -2 = 32 / -2

This simplifies to:

n = -16

Therefore, the correct response is: n = -16.
