Question

What is the value of n in the equation -1/2 (2n + 4)+ 6 = -9 + 4 (2n + 1)

Answer 1

Answer: n=1

Explanation:

We have the following expression:

`-(1)/(2)(2n+4)+6=-9+4(2n+1)`

Begining by applying the distributive property with the parenthesis:

`-(1)/(2)(2n)-(1)/(2)(4)+6=-9+8n+4`

Grouping similar terms:

`-n+4=-8n-5`

`4+5=8n+n`

Isolating
`n`:

`n=1`
