Solve for n. −2(4+n)=24 (1 point) Responses n = 16 n = 16 n = -8 n = -8 n = 8 n = 8 n = -16

Answer 1

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.
