Solve - 2(4-n)=24

1 answer

To solve the equation -2(4-n) = 24, we can start by distributing the -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:

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

Next, we can add 8 to both sides of the equation:

-8 + 2n + 8 = 24 + 8
2n = 32

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate n:

2n/2 = 32/2
n = 16

So the solution to the equation -2(4-n) = 24 is n = 16.
