Question

Solve for n. n + 1 = 4(n – 8) n = 1 n = 8 n = 11 n = 16

Answer 1

Answer: n=11 just took in on Engenuity

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is C) n= 11.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`n+1=4(n-8)`

Open the parentheses and apply the distributive property as shown:

Distributive property
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

`n+1=4n-32`

Now, isolate the variables by adding 32 and subtracting n on both the sides.

`n+1-n+32=4n-32-n+32`

`33=3n`

Now divide both the sides by 3.

`(33)/(3)=(3n)/(3)`

`11=n`

Hence the value of n is 11

Thus, the correct option is C) n= 11.
