Question

How do you solve 2/3(3n+12)-9n=-48​

Answer 1

n=8

Explanation:

`(2)/(3)(3n+12)-9n=-48\\ 2n+8-9n=-48\\-7n+8=-48\\-7n=-56\\n=8\\`

Answer 2

n = 8

Explanation:

2/3(3n+12)-9n=-48​

Distribute the 2/3

2n+8-9n=-48​

Combine like terms

-7n +8 = -48

Subtract 8 from each side

-7n +8-8 = -48-8

-7n = -56

Divide by -7

-7n/-7 = -56/-7

n = 8
