Solve −2(4−n)=24 (1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we can start by applying the distributive property to multiply -2 with each term inside the parentheses:

−2(4 − n) = 24
-2 * 4 + (-2) * (-n) = 24
-8 + 2n = 24

Now, we can simplify the equation by combining like terms:

2n - 8 = 24

Next, we can isolate the variable by adding 8 to both sides of the equation:

2n = 24 + 8
2n = 32

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

n = 32/2
n = 16

Therefore, the solution to the equation −2(4−n)=24 is n = 16.
