Answer 1

To solve the equation, −2(4−n)=24, we need to simplify the expression on the left-hand side and solve for n.

First, distribute the -2 to both terms inside the parentheses:
-2 * 4 + 2n = 24

Simplifying further:
-8 + 2n = 24

Adding 8 to both sides of the equation:
2n = 32

Dividing both sides by 2:
n = 16

Therefore, the correct answer is 16.
