Question

Solve for x: 23 = -4n + 15 – 8n + 2

please help

Answer 1

Explanation:

Simplify the equation for n.

`23 = - 4n + 15 - 8n + 2`

`23 = - 12n + 17`

Subtract 17 from both sides:

`6 = - 12n`

Divide each side by -12:

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

Answer 2

Appropriate Question :

Solve for n :

• 23 = -4n + 15 – 8n + 2

Solution :

`\qquad{ \dashrightarrow \: { {{ \sf{ 23 = -4n + 15 - 8n + 2 }}}}\:}`

`\qquad {\dashrightarrow \: { {{ \sf{ 23 = -4n - 8n + 15 + 2 }}}}}\:`

`\qquad {\dashrightarrow \: { {{ \sf{ 23 = -12n + 17 }}}}}\:`

`\qquad {\dashrightarrow \: { {{ \sf{ 12 n= 17 - 23 }}}}}\:`

`\qquad {\dashrightarrow \: { {{ \sf{ 12n = - 6 }}}}}\:`

`\qquad {\dashrightarrow \: { {{ \sf{ n = - (6)/(12) }}}}}\:`

`\qquad {\dashrightarrow \: { {{ \sf{ n = - (1)/(2) }}}}}\:`
