Hello there! :)

Answer:


\boxed{N=-2}

*THE ANSWER MUST HAVE A NEGATIVE SIGN!*

Explanation:

First, you subtract by 12 from both sides of an equation.


4n+12-12=4-12

Subtract by numbers from left/right.


4-12=-8


4n=-8

Divide by 4 from both sides of an equation.


(4n)/(4)=(-8)/(4)

Divide by the numbers from left/right.


-8/4=-2


\boxed{N=-2}, is the final answer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)

:D

Answer:

n= -2

Explanation:

4n + 12 = 4

12 + 4n = 4

12 + -12 + 4n = 4 + -12

( 12 + -12 = 0 )

0 + 4n = 4 + -12

4n = 4 + -12

4 + -12 = -8

4n = -8

(-8/4)

n = -2
