To solve the equation, we need to distribute -2 through the parentheses:
-2(4 + n) = 24
-8 - 2n = 24
Next, we can add 8 to both sides:
-8 + 8 - 2n = 24 + 8
-2n = 32
Finally, we divide both sides by -2:
n = 32 / -2
n = -16
Therefore, the solution is n = -16.
Solve for n. −2(4+n)=24 (1 point) Responses n = 16 n = 16 n = -8 n = -8 n = 8 n = 8 n = -16
