Solve for n.

Question

n + 1 = 4(n – 8)

n = 1
n = 8
n = 11
n = 16

Answer 1

n = 11

To solve for n, first distribute the 4 on the right side of the equation:

n + 1 = 4n - 32

Next, move all the terms with n to one side of the equation:

n - 4n = -32 - 1
-3n = -33

Finally, solve for n:

n = (-33)/(-3)
n = 11

Therefore, n = 11.
