Question

N-2=10n+4 over 2 what is the value of n

Answer 1

Consider the given equation:

`n-2 = (10n+4)/(2)`

Cross multiplying in the given equation, we get

`(n-2) * 2 = 10n+4`

Applying distributive property which states
`a(b+c) = ab+ac`, we get

`(n * 2) - (2 * 2) = 10n+4`

`2n -4 = 10n+4`

Adding '4' on both the sides, we get

`2n-4+4 = 10n+4+4`

`2n = 10n+8`

Subtracting '10n' from both the sides of the equation, we get

`2n-10n = 10n+8-10n`

`-8n = 8`

Dividing by '-8' in both the sides of the equation, we get

`n= -1`

Therefore, the value of 'n' is -1.
