Question

Please select the most simplified form of the equation. 6n + 40 =2n

Question 1 options:

n= -6


n = -10


n = 23


n = 5

Answer 1

n = - 10

6n + 40 = 2n ( subtract 2n from both sides of the equation )

4n + 40 = 0 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

4n = - 40 ( divide both sides by 4 )

n =
`(-40)/(4)` = - 10
