To solve the equation \( 4n - 2 = 10 \), we can follow these steps:

Key Idea:

Isolate the variable \( n \) by performing algebraic operations to get \( n \) on one side of the equation.

Solution:

  1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation: \[ 4n - 2 + 2 = 10 + 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4n = 12 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 4: \[ \frac{4n}{4} = \frac{12}{4} \] This simplifies to: \[ n = 3 \]

Final Answer:

\[ n = 3 \]
