Question

What value of n makes 4n +20 = 4? *

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

To solve, you need to isolate the number with the variable (in this case, 4n). To do that, get rid of the 20 on the left side. To do THAT, do the opposite which is subtract; do it to both sides. This leaves you with 4n= -16.

Now, to get rid of the 4 and be left with just the n, do the opposite of what is given. In this case, n is multiplied by 4 so divide by 4 on both sides to isolate n. This gives you the answer of -4.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Explanation:

Answer:-

`\sf{4n+20=4}`

`\sf{4n=4-20}`

`\sf{4n= -16}`

`\sf{n=(-16)/(4)}`

`\sf{n = -4}`

Hope it helps :)
