Question

solve for n.
-2(4 + n)=24
(1 point)
○ n = 16
○ n = -8
○ n = 8
○ n = -16

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute -2

$-2\times4+(-2)\times n = 24$
$-8 - 2n=24$

Step2: Add 8 to both sides

$-8 - 2n+8=24 + 8$
$-2n=32$

Step3: Divide both sides by -2

$\frac{-2n}{-2}=\frac{32}{-2}$
$n=-16$

Answer:

$n = - 16$
