Answer 1

To solve the equation −2(4−n) = 24, we first distribute the -2 to both terms inside the parentheses:

-2(4) + 2n = 24

Now, simplify the equation:

-8 + 2n = 24

Next, isolate the variable term by subtracting -8 from both sides of the equation:

2n = 32

Finally, solve for n by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

n = 16

Therefore, the solution to the equation is n = 16.
