To solve the equation, we can start by distributing the -2 to both terms within the parentheses:
-2(4-n) = 24
-8 + 2n = 24
Next, we'll isolate the variable term by adding 8 to both sides:
2n = 32
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for n:
n = 16
So the solution to the equation is n = 16.
Solve −2(4−n)=24 (1 point)
