To solve the equation \(-2(4 - n) = 24\), follow these steps:
1. Distribute the \(-2\) on the left side of the equation:
\[
-2 \cdot 4 + 2n = 24
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-8 + 2n = 24
\]
2. Next, add \(8\) to both sides:
\[
2n = 24 + 8
\]
\[
2n = 32
\]
3. Now, divide both sides by \(2\):
\[
n = \frac{32}{2}
\]
\[
n = 16
\]
The solution is:
\[
n = 16
\]
