Question

5-(n-4)= 3 (n + 2)
what does n equal

Answer 1

The value of n in this equation is -3/4

Explanation:

5 - (n - 4) = 3 (n + 2)

Distribute the negative to (n - 4) and distribute 3 to (n + 2).

5 - n + 4 = 3n + 6

Add 4 to -5.

9 - n = 3n + 6

Subtract 9 from 6.

-n = 3n - 3

Subtract 3n from n.

4n = -3

Divide 4 by -3.

n = -3/4
