Question

Solve the equation.

−4(n−6)=12

Answer 1

Explanation:

-4(n-6)=12

=n-6=12/-4

( this step is because -4 is multiplied to n-6, si we move it to the right side so the signs always change so multiplication becomes division.)

= n-6=-3

=n= -3+6

(When we shift places signs change so -6 becomes +6)

= n= 3

Answer 2

n = 3

Explanation:

Given

- 4(n - 6) = 12 ← divide both sides by - 4

n - 6 = - 3 ← add 6 to both sides

n = 3
