Question

What is the answer to 4n + 12 = 4

Answer 1

n=-2

Explanation:

Problem: 4n+12=4

Goal: To find n!

1) Start by subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation:

4n=-8

2) Now divide everything by 4:

n=-2

Footnotes:

Remember, the goal is to isolate or get the variable "n" by itself.

To get rid of addition, we subtract. To get rid of multiplication, we divide.

Don't forget, whatever you do to one side of the equation, you MUST ALSO do to the other!

Answer 2

`\Large\boxed{\mathsf{N=-2}}}`

Explanation:

`\Large\boxed{\mathsf{SUBJECT: MATH }}}`

Isolate n on one side of the equation.

First, subtract 12 from both sides.

4n+12-12=4-12

Solve.

4-12=-8

4n=-8

Then, divide by 4 from both sides.

4n/4=-8/4

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

-8/4=-2

n=-2

`\Rightarrow \displaystyle \mathsf{\boxed{\mathsf{N=-2}}}}}}}`

So, the final answer is n=-2.
