Step 1

8(2n−2)=4−4n Equation

Step 2

8(2n−2)=4−4n Remove parenthesis

16n-16=-4n+4

Step 3

20n−16=4 Add n to both sides

20n=20

Step 4

20n=20 Divide both sides by themselves

answer

n=1

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{n=1}`

Explanation:

In order to find the value of n that satisfies this equation, we can perform a series of algebraic steps on it to solve for n.

• 
  `8(2n-2) = 4- 4n`
• Distribute in the 8 on the left side:
• 
  `16n-16=4-4n`
• Add 4n to both sides
• 
  `20n-16=4`
• Add 16 to both sides
• 
  `20n = 20`
• Divide both sides by 20
• 
  `n=1`

Therefore, n=1 is the value of n that satisfies this equation.

Hope this helped!
