n=3.6

Do the distributive property to both sides then add 14n to -4n and get 10n then add 8 to both sides to get 36, the u have 10n=36 then divide each side by 10, 10/10 cancel each other then 36/10 = 3.6 so N=3.6

Answer:

n = 3.6

Explanation:

Start by removing the brackets on both sides.

28 - 14n = -2n -2n - 8

Combine like terms on the right.

28 - 14n = - 4n - 8

Add 14n to both sides.

28 -14n + 14n = -4n + 14n -8

Combine like terms

28 = 10n - 8

Add 8 to both sides

28 + 8 = 10n - 8 + 8

Combine like terms

36 = 10n

Divide by 10

36/10 = 10n/10

n = 3.6
