Question

Solve this equation
6n-2(4n+7)+4=-2

Answer 1

`The~answer~you~should~be~getting~is`

`n=-4`

Step 1: First, Simplify both sides of the equation:

`6n+(-2)(4n)+(-2)(7)+4=-2`
`(Distribute)`

`6n+-8n+-14+4+-2`

`(6n+-8)+(-14+4)=-2`

`-2n+-10=-2`

`-2n-10=-2`

Step 2: Add 10 to both sides;

`-2n-10+10=-2+10`

`-2n=8`

Step 3: Divide both the sides by -2:

`(-2n)/(-2) =(8)/(-2)`

`n=-4`
